TEAK WOOD
Regular cleaning and oiling of teak wood will maintain its
original appearance. Use a teak cleaner that can penetrate the
pores of the wood and cleanse them of dirt and stains. Avoid
caustic teak cleaners since they can damage the wood. Im-
mediately after cleaning, an oil sealer
should be applied with a soft cloth.
Allow a couple of hours for the oil to
soak into the wood and apply a sec-
ond coat. Wipe off excess oil to pre-
vent a varnish look.
Cleaning the windshield when
needed is an important safety precau-
tion. Your MasterCraft windshield is
made of tempered safety glass and
requires special cleaning to prevent
scratches to the surface. Use a mild
soap solution and damp cloth only.
Harsh detergents, solvents, chemicals
or dry cloths could damage the windshield. Also, when your
boat is in service, avoid using the windshield as an aid for
balance or getting out of a seat. This causes undo stress on
the window frame and could damage it.
STAINLESS STEEL AND
CHROMECHROME
CHROMECHROME
CHROME
Stainless steel and chrome-plated parts are not totally re-
sistant to corrosion. Occasional cleaning and polishing with a
marine chrome-and-stainless polish will maintain and extend
the useful life. In salt water areas, rinse all hardware with fresh
water and apply a light coating of pro-
tective oil to enhance the appearance
after each use.
SUN TOP AND BOAT COVER
Occasional cleaning of the top and
cover should be done with mild soap and
warm water. Thoroughly wet the entire
surface and use a soft-bristled brush.
Rinse completely and allow to drip dry.
Then allow it to lay in the sun until com-
pletely dry. After cleaning, treat with a
water repellent as necessary.
For heavy soil, a mild solution of 1/
3-cup bleach, 1/4-cup household soap
and one gallon of water may be used for
soaking. DO NOT allow to soak for more than 20 minutes. Longer
can cause deterioration of the stitching. Rinse complete and
allow to drip dry. Then follow up with time in the sun until it is
completely dry.
We strongly recom-
mend
the use of
MasterCraft’s GMP
PRODUCTS,
which are specially
formulated for use
in YO UR boat!
