Always remove rust spots as soon as possible with a stainless, brass, silver or chrome cleaner.
Irreversible pitting will develop under rust that remains on stainless for any period of time.
Always use a cleaner, like a good car wax, for added beauty and protection.
Never use coarse abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool on stainless as these can cause rusting.
Never clean with acids or bleaches.
Never leave stainless in contact with iron, steel or other metals, which cause contamination
leading to rust or corrosion.
Always protect with a wax, especially around welds to guard against micro-corrosion, cracking
and rust spots.
Additional information from Romac and G. G. Schmitt and Sons is included in your owner's package.
Corrosion Protection
Spray all electrical connections with a good quality corrosion guard annually and whenever an electrical
connection is repaired or replaced.
If you moor your Pro-Line in salt water for extended periods, be sure to check the transom mounted anti-corrosion
anode often for operation. Check the electrical connections (green wire) on all metallic fittings with anode for
conductivity with an ohmmeter. Make sure the anode surface is exposed and not caked with corrosion and scale.
Renew the anode if it is more than 50% eroded. Your motor and/or drive unit have a sacrificial zinc anode to
mitigate the effects of electrolysis which causes corrosion.
maintenance schedule in your engine manual.
Cabin / Companionway Door
Clean the cabin/companionway door using a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent.
Windows
The frames of the cabin hatches are made of cast or extruded aluminum. The lenses/windows of the windows
(cabin hatch and cabin portholes) are made of Lexan or tough acrylic. Clean the frames and windows with a mild
soap, lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Make sure that there is no cross contamination on the cloth. Polish with a
mild automobile polish.
Minor scratches on the lens/window can be removed or minimized by using a mild automobile polish such as
Johnson's Paste Wax or Mirro Glaze Plastic Polish. Use silicone spray on any moving parts to keep the parts
free of salt build up.
Note: Do not clean Lexan or acrylic windows with any window cleaner designed specifically for
glass windows or any cleaner containing harsh chemicals such as ammonia or alcohol as this will
damage the lens/window.
If needed, replacement parts for the 2 window styles (cabin hatches and cabin portholes) can be obtained from
the vendor:
Bomar, A Division of Pompanette, PO Box W, South East Street, Charlestown, NH 03603
Windshield
Care Instructions - Regular cleaning with fresh water and a soft cloth will keep and protect your windshield,
window or hatch for years.
