Quicksilver 675SD — Maintenance
A er each use, especially if used in salt water areas, rinse the canvas completely with fresh cold
water.
On a regular basis, brush off any loose dirt, pollen, etc., and hose down with water and clean with a
mild solu on of a natural soap in lukewarm water (maximum 38°C). Allow the canvas to soak,
however, do not let the soap dry. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Let the canvas dry completely.
Do not store any of the canvas pieces while wet.
The effects of ultraviolet light can some mes be reduced by chemical treatment of canvas items.
Consult your Quicksilver® dealer or check your canvas manufacturer's manual before using any
chemical treatments on your canvas.
To clean stubborn stains, soak fabric for approximately twenty minutes in a mild solu on consis ng of
no more than 30 ml of bleach and 15 ml of natural soap per liter of lukewarm water (not to exceed
38° C). Rinse thoroughly in cold water several mes, then allow the fabric to air dry completely.
Retreat the fabric using an air curing product such to ensure water and stain repellency. Refer to the
canvas vendor's recommenda on for addi onal informa on.
Zippers & Hardware
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a clear silicone spray. In the absence of silicone spray,
a wax candle can be used to lubricate the zipper track. Replace any missing fasteners or any fasteners
showing signs of corrosion.
Vinyl Windows
The canvas on your boat may incorporate Eisenglass polycarbonate windows. Regular cleaning,
u lizing compa ble cleaners, coupled with proper maintenance techniques will significantly improve
the vinyl's service life.
Rinse vinyl thoroughly with clean water to remove any dust, dirt par cles, salt water or environmental
agents before applying cleaning products. This should be done frequently to avoid build up of salt
water, dirt and other environmental contaminants. Using a so non‐abrasive cloth, wash windows
inside and out with a mild soap and water solu on. Rinse completely with cool water. DO NOT USE
DETERGENTS.
Use separate clean, so cloths or sponges for applica on of cleaners and polishes (Use the
manufacturer's recommended products). Only use a small amount of cleaner or streaking may occur.
If you get streaking or a le over film, rinse the window with clean water.
DO NOT use petroleum based products, such as petroleum
jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
Never use regular window cleaners, detergents, abrasives,
petroleum based products, or alcohol to clean your vinyl
windows. Do not handle vinyl with sunscreen on your
hands. Sunscreen will permanently cloud the vinyl where
handled. Do not fold vinyl panels. Store flat or rolled with
smooth paper or so cloth between layers when dry.
