WOODWORK AND COMPOSITES

Q - 1

HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE CARE

Some table tops, galley counter tops, shelving and drawer
faces consist of a high pressure laminate, "formica" like
material. The laminate may have either a matte texture
or smooth finish and can be cleaned with mild dishwa-
shing soap and water or other cleaning solutions such as
Fantastik™. Always read the label before using any prod-
uct.
NOTICE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or solvents on
formica. DO NOT use Soft Scrub™ soap or simi-
lar cleaning products; they will scratch the sur-
face and remove the shine.
NOTICE
DO NOT use table tops as a cutting board. The
knife will leave gouges/marks in the surface of
the table.
Q - 2

STAR BOARD

Star board is a high density polyethylene (plastic) and is
very durable and fade resistant. Star board requires little
maintenance, and is being used in place of wood in many
areas of the boat. The fill-in cockpit table is one ex-
ample of where star board is used.
To clean star board, use a solvent-free, nonabrasive cleaner
such as dishwashing soap or Fantastic™. Read the la-
bel before using any cleaning product.
NOTICE
Star board will stain when exposed to certain oils
or chemicals. Always wipe up any spills immedi-
ately.

BURLWOOD MAHOGANY ENHANCEMENTS

Mahogany enhancements are available on the Free-
dom™/Horizon™ models. They consist of a finished
synthetic burlwood mahogany. This synthetic burlwood
mahogany may be found in the instrument gauge pan-
els, switch panels and ignition switch panels. Addition-
ally, an optional woodgrain steering wheel is available
for most models. See Figure Q1.
