G
Occasionally set up all canvas and curtains and hose down with fresh
water to remove accumulated soot and dirt. Sweep or brush the
underside of the canvas to prevent the accumulation of dirt and mildew.
G
The outer canvas surfaces can be cleaned with a soft scrub brush and
either automotive convertible top cleaners or household cleaners suitable
for use on vinyl surfaces. The underside of the canvas may be
periodically sprayed with a spray disinfectant to prevent the growth of
mildew.
G
Do not store or dock your boat under trees. Tree sap is very corrosive to
canvas and can also be harmful to gelcoat and vinyl interiors.
G
Adjust top bows to eliminate pockets in which rain water can accumulate.
The weight of this accumulated water can collapse the top or bag the
canvas.
G
Zippers and snaps should never be forced.
G
Never trailer your boat with the convertible top in the mounted position. All
canvas should be dismantled, rolled, and securely stored while trailering
your boat to prevent wind damage.
G
Roll curtains, do not fold, and store in a clean, dry place.
G
Do not allow petroleum products or bug sprays to come in contact with
canvas.
Your Monterey boat is basically an open vehicle. Therefore, in
spite of well-designed and well-fitting canvas enclosures, your
boat is not waterproof. We have made every effort to design
these enclosures to conform with the boat, but a certain amount
of leakage may occur, especially at the seam lines. After cleaning
with soap and water, allow seams to thoroughly dry. A vinyl daub
sealant can be applied on the seams to somewhat close the
needle holes according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Acrylic and Plexiglass
Acrylics and plexiglass have properties that make them ideal for the marine
environment. Components such as cabin doors, deck hatches, and some
windshields need special care to prevent scratches and other damage. The
following guidelines will help keep acrylics and plexiglass looking good for
years to come.
DO'S
G
Wash your acrylic hatches, windshields, and other acrylic components
on your boat with a mild soap and plenty of lukewarm water.
G
Use a clean, soft cloth, applying only light pressure.
G
Rinse with clear water and dry by blotting with a damp cloth or chamois.
