Vinyl curtains should be stored either rolled or ﬂat, without

folds or creases. Folding the curtains will make permanent

creases that could cause the vinyl to crack.

Note: Do not use any polish containing lemon scents or

lemon. The lemon juice will attack the vinyl and

shorten its life.

Snaps should be lubricated periodically with petroleum jelly

or silicone grease. Zippers should be lubricated with silicone

spray or parafﬁn or a product designed to lubricate zippers in

marine canvas.

The bimini top, side curtains, clear connector, back drop and aft

curtain must be removed when trailering. Canvas enclosures are

not designed to withstand the extreme wind pressure encoun

tered while trailering and will be damaged. Always remove and

properly store the enclosure before trailering your boat.

Do not operate engines, fuel consuming heaters or burners with

the canvas enclosures closed. The cockpit must be open for

legal ventilation and to prevent the possible accumulation of

carbon monoxide fumes, which could be lethal.

CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS

THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. IT IS A

DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN

CERTAIN LEVELS.

13.3 Cabin Interior

The cabin interior can be cleaned just like you would clean a

home interior. The wood ﬂoors and steps can be vacuumed

and cleaned with a mixture of water and Murphy’s Oil Soap.

Wipe the wood dry with a clean towel. To preserve the cherry

and teak woodwork, use furniture polish with wax. To maintain

the carpeting, use a vacuum cleaner.

Because air and sunlight are very good cleansers, periodically

put cushions, sleeping bags, etc. on deck, in the sun and fresh

air, to dry and air out. If cushions or equipment get wet with

saltwater, remove and use clean, fresh water to rinse off the

salt crystals. Salt retains moisture and will cause damage. Dry

thoroughly and reinstall.

Vinyl headliner material should be cleaned periodically as

explained in the previous section. Avoid using products

containing ammonia, bleach, or harsh chemicals as they can

shorten the life of vinyl.

If you leave the boat for a long period of time, put all cushions

on their sides, open all interior cabin and locker doors, and hang

a commercially available mildew protector in the cabin.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL CAREFULLY ON MILDEW

PROTECTORS. REMOVE THE PROTECTOR AND

ALLOW THE CABIN TO VENTILATE COMPLETELY

BEFORE USING THE CABIN.

Corian Surfaces

A mild liquid detergent and water or ammonia-based clean-

ers will remove most dirt and stains from Corian. For heavy

cleaning, oil, and grease, use Fantastik spray cleaner. Rinse

with a clean cloth moistened with freshwater. Wipe dry with

a clean cloth.

In most cases, Corian can be repaired if accidentally damaged.

Minor damage, including scratches, general or chemical stains,

scorches or burns, and minor impact marks, can be repaired with

a light abrasive cleanser and a Scotch-Brite

pad. For heavier

damage, light sanding and machine bufﬁng may be necessary

so contact your dealer or a professional.

• Avoid exposing Corian to strong chemicals, such as paint

removers, oven cleaners, etc. If contact occurs, quickly

ﬂush the surface with water.

• Remove nail polish with a non acetone-based polish

remover and ﬂush with water.

• Do not cut directly on Corian counter tops.

13.4 Bilge and Engine Compartment

To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a commercial bilge

cleaner regularly. Follow the directions carefully. The engines

and engine room should be kept clean and free of oil accumu-

lation and debris. All exposed pumps and metal components,

including the engines and drive gear, should be sprayed peri-

odically with a protector to reduce the corrosive effects of the

high humidity always present in these areas.

Maintenance intervals are outlined in the engine owner’s manu

als. Their recommendations should be followed exactly.

Periodically check the bilge pumps for proper operation and

clean debris from the strainers and ﬂoat switches. Inspect all

hoses, clamps and thru-hulls for leaks and tightness on a regular

basis and operate all thru-hull valves at least once a month to

keep them operating properly.

A ﬂow of air into the bilge is provided by vents located in the

hull. Periodic inspection and cleaning of the ventilation ducts

is necessary to ensure adequate air circulation.
