Standard Vinyl Cushions
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt and ultra-violet rays will
take their toll on vinyl products causing them to lose
their luster and texture. To clean standard cushions:
•
Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild
soap and water solution. Dry with a soft, lint-
free cloth or towel.
•
More difficult stains can be cleaned using
rubbing alcohol. Rinse cleaned area with fresh
water and dry with a clean, soft, cloth or towel.
•
Seemingly permanent stains like ballpoint ink
can be cleaned with active solvents such as nail
polish remover when applied with a soft cloth
or damp sponge and rubbed. Rinse cleaned area
with fresh water and dry with a clean, soft, cloth
or towel.
CAUTION
!
Wear rubber gloves when using any solvents.
Use caution when cleaning around buttons,
stitching, and wooden or decorative trim as
solvents could seriously damage such areas.

Water Exposure
Boat cushions are not waterproof and will absorb and
hold water. Do not leave the cushions in standing
water or exposed to heavy, prolonged rain. If cushions
become waterlogged, remove the foam from the
cushion, press out as much water as possible from the
foam and allow to air dry. To prevent mildew, keep
the vinyl dry and make sure that moisture does not
accumulate between the cushions.
Cleaning Your Instrument Gauges
When gauges are exposed to a saltwater environment,
salt crystals may form on the bezel and plastic covers.
Remove the salt crystals with a soft damp cloth. Clean
with a mild household detergent or plastic cleaner.

Canvas Care and Maintenance
NOTICE
DO NOT use detergents, bleach or solvents to
clean your canvas.
To keep your canvas and metal parts in good working
condition and in good appearance, you will need to
keep them clean.
The fabric should be cleaned regularly before
substances such as dirt, pollen, etc. are allowed to
accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric.
The canvas can be cleaned without being removed
from the installation.
Chafing, fiber wear from dirt and grit and deterioration
from ultraviolet light can cause your canvas to
degrade over time.
Maintaining a good appearance
• After 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.
•
Hose down with fresh cold water and clean
with a mild solution of a natural soap in
lukewarm water (maximum 100°F / 38°C).
•
Allow the canvas to soak. DO NOT ALLOW
THE SOAP TO 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 sometimes be
reduced by chemical treatment of canvas items.
