If permanently moored in salt water or fresh
water, your boat will collect marine growth on
its bottom. This will detract from the boat's
beauty and greatly affect its performance. There
are two methods of preventing this:
•
Periodically haul the boat out of the water
and scrub the bottom with a bristle brush
and a solution of soap and water.
•
Paint the hull below the waterline with a
good grade of antifouling paint. DO NOT
paint the engine drive surfaces.
NOTE: There are EPA regulations regarding
bottom paint application. Consult your Sea Ray
dealer for proper application methods.

Stainless steel and alloy fittings should be cleaned
with soap and water or household glass cleaner.
Remove rust spots as soon as possible with a brass,
silver or chrome cleaner. Irreversible pitting will
develop under rust that remains for any period of
time. Never use an abrasive like sandpaper or steel
wool on stainless. These may actually cause rust.
To help protect the stainless, we recommend the
use of a good car wax.

RYSTALS
When instruments are exposed to a saltwater
environment, salt crystals may form on the bezel
and the plastic covers. These salt crystals should
be removed with a soft, damp cloth; never use
abrasives or rough, dirty cloths to wipe plastic parts.
Mild household detergents or plastic cleaners can
be used to keep the instruments bright and clean.
REFER TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL PACKET FOR
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.

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.
