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
Engines
Proper engine maintenance is essential to the proper performance and reliability of your outboard
engines. Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your engine owner's manual.
They should be followed exactly.
If the boat is used in saltwater, flush the cooling systems after each daily use. To flush the systems
when the boat is out of the water, follow the procedure outlined in your engine owner's manual.
The age of gasoline can affect engine performance. Chemical changes occur as the gasoline ages
that can cause deposits and varnish in the fuel system as well as reduce the octane rating of the
fuel. Severely degraded fuel can damage the engine and boat fuel tank and lines. Therefore, if
your boat is not being run enough to require at least one full tank of fresh fuel a month, a fuel
stabilizer should be added to the gasoline to protect the fuel from degradation. Your dealer or
the engine manufacturer can provide additional information on fuel degradation and fuel
stabilizers recommended for your engine.
Avoid using fuels with alcohol additives. Gasoline that is an alcohol blend will absorb moisture
from the air which can reach such concentrations that "phase separation" can occur whereby the
water and alcohol mixture becomes heavy enough to settle out of the gasoline to the bottom of
the tank. Since the fuel pick up tube is very near the bottom of the tank, phase separation can cause
the engine to run very poorly or not at all. This condition is more severe with methyl alcohol and
will worsen as the alcohol content increases. Water or a jelly like substance in the fuel filters is
an indication of possible phase separation from the use of alcohol blended fuels.
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 periodically 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.
