Corrosion Protection; Cabin / Companionway And Transom Doors; Tackle Box; Windshield - Pro-Line Boats 32 Express 2010 Owner's Manual


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.

Cabin / Companionway and Transom Doors

To clean the acrylic door, rinse with fresh water to remove as much grime as possible. Use bare hands with
plenty of water so you can feel any grit and avoid grinding it into the surface as you dislodge it. When all material
that may scratch the surface is removed, use a soft clean cloth with a non-abrasive mild detergent and fresh
water. Rinse and blot dry with a clean dry chamois.
Grease and adhesives may be removed with kerosene, hexane or white gas (not gas you burn in your boat, car,
or lawnmower). Never use solvents such as acetone, silicone spray, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, dry cleaning
fluid, lacquer or paint thinner, or any chlorinated solvent on acrylic since they may dissolve the material.

Tackle Box

Clean the tackle box trays and storage area using a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent.

Windshield

Care Instructions - Regular cleaning with fresh water and a soft cloth will keep and protect your windshield,
window or hatch for years.

Glass - Use commercially available glass cleaners or a mixture of fresh water and vinegar. Do
not use abrasives, harsh chemicals or metal scrapers. Regular cleaning will help assure clarity of
the glass for safe boating.

Window Channels - Clean window channels with mild detergent only. Channels can be sprayed
with silicon aerosol while sliding the glass back and forth.

Metal - Polish with commercially available metal polishes. A boat or car wax applied periodically
will offer extra protection against the elements.

Painted Surfaces - Clean with fresh water periodically. Touch up scratches and areas where
paint has chipped off with touch-up spray paint. Touch-up kits are available from the windshield
manufacturer.

Boat Top Clips – Never slide boat top clips along windshield framework. To change a clip
location, snap on and off the aluminum top track.

Windshield Vents - Use care when opening and closing vent. Do not force.
