Chrome Hardware

Use a good chrome cleaner and polish on all chrome hardware.

Acrylic Plastic Glass

Acrylic glass scratches easily. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water to clean acrylic glass.

Solvents and products containing ammonia can permanently damage acrylic glass. 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

Simulated Wood grain Panels

The simulated wood grain instrument and switch panels are made using a special process. Each

panel is clear coated with a special exterior finish and hand buffed to obtain a rich deep high gloss

wet look. The clear coat is formulated for the marine environment, but basic precautions and regular

care are necessary to protect it.

DON'T:

• Drill or cut any holes through the clear coat.

• Rub the finish using a lot of pressure.

• Use any solvent of any kind on the finish.

• Use rubbing compound of any kind on the finish.

• Use any cleaners with ammonia or an abrasive on the finish.

• Use any Scotchbrite

type product on the finish.

• Use any powder abrasive such as Ajax

or Soft Scrub

on the finish.

Preventative Care:

Waxing the wood grain panels will protect against water spots. The rain water is contaminated and

if the panels are not waxed, water spots will be apparent. Before using your boat and at regular

intervals thereafter, we recommend waxing the panels with one of the following products:

• Premium marine Polish with Teflon

• Starbrite

#85714 for Paste Wax

• Starbrite

#85732 for Liquid Wax

Note: Use normal high gloss care products. For best results we recommend Teflon wax

manufactured by Starbrite

To remove water spots, wipe with mineral spirits and wax using one of the recommended products

mentioned above. Do not use lacquer thinner, acetone or any other solvent on the finish.
