boating season is year around, it is recom-
mended a coat of wax be applied every
three (3) months. If your boating season is
restricted to the summer months, it is
recommended a coat of wax be applied
prior to spring launch and again at the end
of the season prior to winter storage.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents
on fiberglass surfaces, as they will
scratch and dull the finish.
Stainless Steel
The bow rail, aft deck rail, mooring cleats
and other hardware on your 43MY are
manufactured of quality 316L grade stain-
less steel. Stainless steel will not rust
under normal conditions, but it must be
properly maintained on a regular basis.
Thoroughly wash the hardware with a
soap and warm water solution and rinse
with fresh water. Dry with a soft cloth to
remove any water stains. If discoloration or
salt deposits are not removed with normal
washing, a non-abrasive household
cleaner or stainless steel polishing powder
may be used with a soft bristle brush.
Always scrub in the direction of the polish-
ing lines imbedded in the stainless steel to
avoid scratching the surface. For a supe-
rior shine, wipe the stainless steel with a
light coat of kerosene, followed by a light
coat of lemon oil. The kerosene enhances
the lustre and protects the stainless steel
and the lemon oil removes the unpleasant
kerosene odor. Be careful not to spill or
wipe kerosene on the fiberglass surfaces,
as it will remove the coat of wax.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents
or steel wool pads or brushes, as these
products may scratch and damage the
stainless steel finish.
Aluminum
The windshield and window frames on
your 43MY are manufactured of aluminum,
unless you purchased, as an option,
stainless steel frames. The aluminum
components are cleaned and maintained
in the same manner as the components
manufactured of stainless steel.
DO NOT use kerosene or lemon oil on
any painted aluminum surfaces, as they
will soften and remove the paint.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning
agents or steel wool products when
cleaning aluminum. Aluminum
scratches very easily and these prod-
ucts will scratch the surface.
Safety Glass
The windshield and windows on your
43MY are manufactured of safety glass
similar to the safety glass found on your
automobile. The safety glass on your yacht
is much heavier and thicker than the glass
on your automobile and meets or exceeds
all American Boat and Yacht
Council(ABYC) standards. The safety
glass may be cleaned with the same soap
and warm water solution used for cleaning
