the exterior surfaces of your yacht and
then dried with a soft towel. For a thorough
cleaning and to remove all water stains,
use a quality window cleaner, such as
Windex , and dry with a paper towel.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning
agents or abrasive cleaning cloths or
pads when cleaning safety glass sur-
faces, as they will scratch the surface.
Acrylic Plastic
The venturi windshield, which is located
on the bridge of your 43MY, is manufac-
tured of a tough acrylic plastic. Clean the
acrylic plastic surfaces with a mild soap
and water solution or non-ammonia based
cleaner and dry with a soft cloth.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning
agents or abrasive cleaning cloths or
pads when cleaning acrylic plastic
surfaces, as they will scratch the sur-

Canvas Enclosure(Optional)
Cleaning/Maintenance
The canvas enclosure you purchased as
an option from your Silverton dealer con-
sists of canvas fabric, vinyl windows and
zippers. An aluminum tubular frame sup-
ports the enclosure and it is secured to the
bridge and deck with “snaps”. Each of
these components require a different
cleaning and maintenance procedure and
they are as follows:
Canvas Fabric
The canvas should be cleaned on a regu-
lar basis before dirt, salt and other depos-
its accumulate and become imbedded in
the fabric. The canvas may be cleaned,
without removal from your yacht, while it is
in the normal upright position. Brush off
any loose dirt and then rinse with fresh
water. Wash the fabric with a mild soap
and lukewarm (temperature less than 100°
F) water solution, rinse thoroughly with
fresh water and allow to air dry.
DO NOT use any cleaning agents con-
taining detergent, as they will remove
the protective coating, resulting in
stiffness and eventual cracking of the
fabric.
DO NOT dry the canvas fabric by any
means other than air-drying. Use of
heated drying apparatus, such as a hair
dryer, will result in stiffness and crack-
ing of the material.
Vinyl Windows
The vinyl windows in your enclosure
should be cleaned on a frequent basis to
extend their life and maintain clarity. Rinse
off any loose dirt with fresh water and
wash with a mild soap and cool water
solution. After washing, rinse with fresh
water and dry with a soft cloth.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning
agents or brushes when cleaning your
vinyl windows, as they will scratch the
material, resulting in poor clarity.
