that your boat may have a fault in the aluminum frame. You

should also contact Albemarle Customer Service.

Note: Boats that are towed behind larger vessels require

special attention to the aluminum hardware. The

salt spray, salty steam, and chemicals in exhaust

gases are particularly corrosive and will eventually

penetrate and damage the surface of anodized or

powder coated aluminum. It is imperative that the

boat and the aluminum are cleaned thoroughly at

the completion of each trip or at the end of each day

on long cruises to reduce accelerated deterioration

of the anodizing or powder coating and premature

corrosion to the aluminum.

Note: You should contact Albemarle Customer Service

before making any modiﬁcations to aluminum

fabrications. Unauthorized modiﬁcations can void

the warranty.

Chrome Hardware

Use a good chrome cleaner and polish on all chrome hard

ware.

Acrylic Plastic Glass

Acrylic glass scratches easily. Never use a dry cloth or glass

cleaning solutions on acrylic. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and

water for routine cleaning. Solvents and products containing

ammonia can permanently damage acrylic plastic glass.

Fine scratches can be removed with a ﬁne automotive clear

coat polishing compound. A coat of automotive or boat wax

is beneﬁcial to protect the surface.

Do not use the following on acrylic glass:

Abrasive cleaners Acetone

Solvents Alcohol

Glass cleaners Cleaners containing ammonia

13.2 Upholstery, Canvas and

Enclosures

Vinyl Upholstery

The vinyl upholstery used on the exterior seats and bolsters,

and for the headliner in the cabin should be cleaned periodi-

cally with soap and water. Any stain, spill or soiling should

be cleaned up promptly to prevent the possibility of permanent

staining. When cleaning, always rub gently. Avoid using

products containing ammonia, powdered abrasive cleaners,

steel wool, strong solvents, acetone and lacquer solvents or

other harsh chemicals as they can cause permanent damage or

shorten the life of vinyl. Never use steam heat, heat guns or

hair dryers on vinyl.

Stronger cleaners, detergents and solvents may be effective in

stain removal, but can cause either immediate damage or slow

deterioration. Lotions, sun tan oil, waxes and polishes, etc.,

contain oils and dyes that can cause stiffening and staining of

vinyls.

The following are typical stains and cleaning tips for

vinyl:

• Dry soil, dust and dirt - Remove with a soft cloth.

• Dried on dirt - Wash with a soft cloth dampened with

water.

• Variations in surface gloss - Wipe with a water dampened

soft cloth and allow to air dry.

• Stubborn dirt - Wash with a soft cloth dampened with Ivory

Flakes

and water. Rinse with clean water.

• Stubborn spots and stains - Spray with either Fantastik

Cleaner

or Tannery Car Care Cleaner

and rub with a

soft cloth. Rinse with clean water.

• Liquid spills - Wipe immediately with a clean absorbent

cloth. Rinse with clean water.

• Food grease and oily stains - Spray immediately using

either Fantastik Cleaner

or Tannery Car Care Cleaner

wiping with a soft cloth. Take care not to extend the area

of contamination beyond its original boundary. Rinse with

clean water.

Canvas and Side Curtains

Acrylic (Sunbrella) canvas should be cleaned periodically by

using a mild soap and water. Scrub lightly and rinse thoroughly

to remove the soap. Do not use detergents. The top or acces

sories should never be folded or stored wet.

After several years, the acrylic canvas may lose some of its

ability to shed water. If this occurs, wash the fabric and treat

it with a commercially available water prooﬁng designed for

this purpose.

Note: Some leakage at the seams is normal and unavoid

able with acrylic enclosures.

Side curtains and clear connectors can be cleaned with mild

soap and water. They should not be allowed to become badly

soiled. Dirt, oil, mildew, and cleaning agents containing am

monia, will shorten the life of the vinyl that is used for clear

curtains. After cleaning the curtains and allowing them to dry,

apply a non-lemon furniture polish or an acrylic glass and clear

plastic protector to extend the life of the curtains.
