processes, has increased susceptibility to micro-corrosion (invisible to the unaided eye)
and cracking. Proper care will preserve the weld strength and beauty of your stainless
and aluminum:
* Always clean frequently with soap and water. Most glass cleaners work.
* Always protect with a wax, especially around welds to guard against micro-
corrosion, cracking, and rust spots.
* Always remove rust and corrosion spots as they appear with a stainless steel or
aluminum cleaner.
* Never use coarse abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool, as these can cause
rusting.
* Never clean with acids or bleaches.
* Never permit contact with iron, carbon steel, or other metals which could cause
rust or corrosion.

Canvas

Cleaning: Brush the canvas with a soft bristle brush and hose down at regular intervals to
remove bird droppings and dirt particles. It may be washed with a mild solution of
natural soap in lukewarm water (less than 100 deg. F). DO NOT USE DETERGENTS.
For stubborn stains, soak the canvas in a solution of 4oz. non-chlorine bleach, 4oz.
natural soap, and one gallon warm water for approximately 20 minutes. Rinse with cold
water.
Note: If the water repellence is lost due to cleaning, apply a water repellent treatment as
necessary.
The canvas may be washed in an automatic washing machine with cold water using 2
cups non-chlorine bleach and 1 cup natural soap. DO NOT DRY IN A DRYER. LINE
DRY ONLY to prevent shrinkage. If water will not bead on dry surface, re-treat with
water repellent.
Storage: Do not fold or store any canvas while wet. All canvas should be rolled or
folded when dry and kept in a clean dry location.

Upholstery

Vinyl
An occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is all your interior and exterior vinyl
needs to remain in good condition for many years. We do not recommend the use of any
special cleaners, sealers, or treatments for interior and exterior vinyl. Refer to the
provided brochure.
Fabric
Only use dry cleaning fluid for all fabrics.

Corrosion Protection

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 ohm
meter. 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 / drive unit has a sacrificial
zinc anode to mitigate the effects of electrolysis which causes corrosion. Maintain this
anode in accordance with the maintenance schedule in your engine manual.
