water after each use and flush it from top to bottom, inside
and out with fresh water. Clean hardware and spray with a
marine corrosion inhibitor every week or even more often.
Salt water can also affect the engine. Contact your dealer or
Premier Marine for additional information about using your
boat in salt water.
Sacrificial Anodes are required for saltwater and help reduce
the chances of damage to your boat. Call your dealer with
questions.
DECK HARDWARE AND FITTINGS
Clean all cleats, rails, and similar equipment periodically with
good chrome cleaner and polish with paste wax to prevent
corrosion. Replace broken or damaged hardware by bolting it
through the deck while using a reinforcing block underneath.
Use deck hardware only for its intended purpose. Do not use
stanchions for tying off fenders, mooring lines, or water ski
ropes. A mooring cleat should not be used for a water ski
rope if obstructions prevent it from swinging in a proper arc.
Sunlight and ozone eventually cause a loss of elasticity in rub-
ber components. Inspect them frequently and replace them
when signs of hardening or surface cracking are detected.
SEAT COVERINGS AND VINYL
The vinyl used on your boat requires routine care. See the
cleaning and care instructions in your Owner’s Packet. Keep
the vinyl clean and dry to keep mildew from forming. Open
the seat cushions and wipe them dry after each use. In very
rainy weather, cover, open or remove cushions since seams
can trap and absorb moisture. If you remove the cushions,
store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Keep the boat covered
when not in use to prevent aging of the upholstery.
Each week, wipe all vinyl surfaces with a soft damp cloth and
towel dry. For dirt and stains that cannot be removed with a
damp cloth, clean with a mild soap and water solution and, if
necessary, a soft bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry.
Check your boat packet for complete cleaning instructions.
Suntan lotion and insect repellents can stain vinyl quickly and
cause vinyl surfaces to deteriorate. Remove these products
immediately after contact and wash the area with a mild soap
solution. Rinse and towel dry.
IMPORTANT: Harsh detergents, abrasives, bleach and sol-
vents can cause permanent damage to vinyl upholstery. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for recommended stain
removal procedures located in your packet.
CANVAS AND BOAT COVER
The canvas and boat cover are composed of a coated heavy-
duty polyester fabric. They resist mildew, rot and the weather.
(“Canvas” in this section refers to the various enclosures
available, Bimini tops and boat covers.) If canvas is wet, let it
air dry before you store it. Never store canvas damp or wet.
Provide proper ventilation to limit the possibility of mildew.
Canvas covers are not water tight, they may drip at seams.
Seam sealer and/or a water proffer designed for canvas is
recommended for sealing the cover.
Keep the canvas clean. Dirt and dust on canvas support the
formation of mildew. To clean the canvas, wet down all of
the canvas material. Scrub it with a soft bristle brush and
a solution of mild soap and water. Never use a detergent or
bleach on your canvas. Brush or sweep the underside of the
top. Spray with Lysol or other disinfectant to prevent mildew.
Lubricate zippers with paraffin and snaps with petroleum jelly.
Clean the plastic windows by ushing them with clear water.
After the dirt is removed, use an appropriate window cleaner.
Do not wipe dirt from dry plastics or use abrasives. The plas-
tic can become permanently scratched or dulled.
FLOOR COVERINGS
Clean both the vinyl and marine carpet with a diluted household
cleaner and warm water. Apply with a scrub brush. Rinse thor-
oughly. See the cleaning and care instructions in your Owner’s
Packet. A spray washer may be used to clean floor coverings.
Berber Carpet and High Low Carpets
Do not attempt any service work on Berber carpet
until you read this warning.
This style of carpet can and will run if not drilled or cut
correctly. If you have any questions please call your
dealer before attempting service work. Premier will not
be responsible for any damages to Berber carpet.
FIBERGLASS AND COMPOSITES
The console and certain optional equipment such as galleys,
motor covers, raised platforms, and rod lockers may be made
of berglass or composite materials. Use caution while repair-
ing or cleaning these products. You can scratch or melt these
surfaces beyond repair.
Keep these surfaces clean to prevent dirt from scratching and
dulling the nish. Clean them with a mild detergent and wa-
ter. Do not use abrasives! At least twice a year, apply a coat of
wax after cleaning and buff with a soft cloth to bring back the
original sheen. If the berglass surface has oxidized (appear-
ing as a light white milky film), you may want to use a rub-
bing compound before waxing. Your dealer can recommend a
good commercial product to use.
TUBE MAINTENANCE
Use a commercial hull cleaner and a brush to remove algae or
scum on the tubes. They are easier to remove if they are not
allowed to dry out. If your boat will remain in the water, check
with your dealer about the best method for preventing algae
or scum buildup that is common in your area.
DO NOT store boats on carpeted bunks or any other type of surface that
can hold salt or any other chemicals near or on the surface of the boat.
These surfaces WILL corrode and damage the boat.
