E. Maintenance
The majority of the hardware installed is made of
stainless steel. Regardless of the type of hard ware
used, periodic mainte nance is necessary.
The manufacturer of our hardware recommends the
following when washing your boat:
1. Rinse the hardware with fresh water after each
exposure to saltwater.
2. Periodically wash the hardware with mild soap,
warm water, and a sponge. Then dry it with a soft
cloth.
3. Avoid cleaners, abrasives, waxes, and most of all,
do not use steel wool.
