You may have chosen as an option at the
time of purchase of your 43MY, a “Central
Vac” vacuum cleaning system. Similar to
the system in your home, only a removable
vacuum hose with cleaning attachments is
necessary to vacuum any portion of the
interior of your yacht. The “Central Vac”
system in your yacht is operated on the AC
electrical system with a “Ground Fault
Interrupter” circuit for your protection. The
vacuum motor and canister(stores the
vacuumed soil) are self-contained in one
unit and located in the lower portion of the
dinette seat. Access to the canister is
gained through a panel located on the
inboard face of the dinette seat. There is
one(1) vacuum hose outlet, which is
located on the face of the canister access
panel. Refer to the manufacturer’s pam-
phlet included with your owner’s packet for
specific directions concerning operation of
the system.
Corian
The galley and head counter tops and
head sinks are manufactured of Corian,
which is a superior quality, tough, scratch-
resistant material. The Corian surfaces in
your 43MY are a Matte/Satin finish and are
easily cleaned and maintained in the
following manner:
✵Cleaning: Dirt and stains are removed
by using a soap and warm water solution.
Tough stains may be removed by using an
ammonia-based cleaning agent. Water-
marks may be removed simply by wiping
the surface with a clean, damp cloth and
drying with a towel.
✵Disinfecting: Occasionally wipe the
surfaces with a 50/50 water and bleach
solution. Rinse with warm water and dry
with a towel.
✵Sink Cleaning and Disinfecting: Gen-
eral cleaning of the Corian sinks is the
same procedure as described above. For a
more thorough cleaning, occasionally fill
the sink with a 50/50 water and bleach
solution and let soak for fifteen (15) min-
utes. As the solution drains, wash the
bottom and sides, rinse with warm water
and dry with a towel.
✵Cuts and Scratches: Cuts and
scratches may be removed from your
Corian surfaces. Refer to the
manufacturer’s pamphlet included with
your owner’s packet for the proper proce-
dure.
Exterior Cleaning/Maintenance
The exterior surfaces of your 43MY consist
primarily of fiberglass, stainless steel,
aluminum, safety glass, acrylic plastic and
anti-fouling bottom paint. As with the
interior surfaces, the exterior surfaces
demand frequent cleaning and mainte-
nance and the respective procedures are
as follows:
Fiberglass
Wash with a mild soap and water solution,
particularly if your yacht is used in salt or
brackish water. Always thoroughly wash
your yacht after each use in addition to a
regular, periodic washing schedule. A
more frequent washing schedule may be
required, depending on the environment
where your yacht is normally docked/
moored. A soft scrub brush may be used
on the non-skid surface areas. Thoroughly
dry with a soft cloth and apply a coat of
good quality wax designed for marine use,
such as carnauba paste wax. DO NOT
apply wax to the non-skid surface areas,
as it will render them ineffective. If your
