Strataglass
Strataglass
®
is a special coated vinyl that is used only in the clear connector for the hard top
enclosure. The coating protects the vinyl glass and resists scratching. Waxes and plexiglas
polishing compounds should not be used on strataglass as the protective coating prevents them from
penetrating into the vinyl and they will build up on the surface. These products will create a hazy,
greasy appearance that will affect the clarity of the strataglass. Products that repel water, like
Rainex
®
, should not be used as they will not take well to the surface and could appear spotty and
may also yellow or dull the Strataglass over time.
Stratoglass can be cleaned by rinsing off dirt or salt deposits with fresh water, then washing with
a clean cloth and mild soap. Chamoise dry to remove water spots and improve clarity. If a polish
is accidentally used, use Windex
®
or its equivalent to remove it. While window cleaners will
destroy the standard vinyl normally used in side curtains, it will not harm strataglass. Always roll
down the curtains and snap in place at the end of each day so the curtains will maintain their shape
and to minimize fold distortions.
Remember, the coating on strataglass is scratch resistant and not scratch proof. Always handle the
curtains with care and never roll up curtains that are salty or dirty. If you have any questions about
the clear curtains used on your boat, please contact the Pursuit Customer Relations Department.
13.3 Cabin Interior
The cabin interior can be cleaned just like you would clean a home interior. To preserve the teak
woodwork, use teak oil. 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.
