Never use a dry cloth or duster or glass cleaning
solutions on acrylic.
To clean acrylic, first flood it with water to wash off
as much dirt as possible. Next, use your bare hand,
with plenty of water, to feel and dislodge any caked
dirt or mud. A soft, grit-free cloth may then be used
with a nonabrasive soap or detergent. A soft
sponge, kept clean for this purpose, is excellent.
Blot dry with a clean damp chamois.
Grease and oil may be removed from acrylic with
kerosene, hexane, white (not aviation or ethyl)
gasoline or aliphatic naphtha (no aromatic content).
Do not use solvents such as acetone, silicone
spray, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, fire
extinguisher fluid, dry cleaning fluid or lacquer
thinner on acrylic, since they attack the surface.
Remove fine scratches with fine automotive acrylic
rubbing and polishing compounds.

ANVAS AND
Do not fold or store any of the canvas pieces
while wet. All canvas should be rolled or folded
when dry and stored in a clean, dry place. For clear
vinyl pieces, the recommended methods for storage
are rolling or laying down flat. The clear vinyl should
never be folded or creased as cracking will result.
To protect the clear vinyl from rubbing against itself
while rolled or stored flat, place a piece of very soft,
nonabrasive cloth between the pieces. If the surface
of the clear vinyl becomes scratched, the canvas
manufacturer has provided a canvas care sheet
located in your Owner's Manual Packet. When
storing the rear (aft) curtain, fold the canvas over
the clear vinyl window (do not fold clear vinyl), then
roll or store flat.
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 fabric can be cleaned without being removed
from the installation. Simply brush off any loose dirt,

soap. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS. Allow to
completely dry.
Wash and clean vinyl windows with a warm soap
solution. Use a soft cloth or sponge and do not
scratch the surface.
If you have stubborn cleaning cases, call your
dealer for proper procedures. Do not try your own
cleaning procedures as they may permanently
damage the canvas.
After each use, especially in salt water areas, rinse
the canvas completely with fresh cold water. Then
let the canvas dry completely before stowing.
All metal components of the canvas should be
rinsed with fresh cold water and exposed
components wiped dry to maintain appearance and
working order.
12. E
XTERIOR
Exterior fabrics should be cleaned with a sponge
or very soft scrub brush and a mild soap and warm
water solution. After scrubbing, rinse with plenty of
cold, clean water and allow the fabric to air dry in a
well ventilated place, preferrably away from direct
sunlight.
Mildew can occur if your boat does not have
adequate ventilation. Heat alone will not prevent
mildew; you must also provide for fresh air
circulation.
