PROPER CARE IN CLEANING AND NOTIFY PERSONNEL
IN AREA OF DANGER. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES DURING
ALL CLEANING ACTIVITIES. USE CAUTION IN CLEANING

APPLY:
• DO NOT SATURATE EXTERIOR SEAT CUSHIONS OR
BOLSTERS WITH A HOSE WHEN WASHING THE BOAT.
• ONLY USE A CLEAN CLOTH DAMPENED WITH
AN APPROVED CLEANING SOLUTION TO CLEAN
UPHOLSTERY AND RINSE WITH ANOTHER CLEAN CLOTH
DAMPENED WITH WATER.
• ALWAYS DRY UPHOLSTERY WITH A CLEAN CHAMOIS OR
TOWEL AFTER CLEANING.
• REMOVABLE CUSHIONS SHOULD BE REMOVED AND
PROPERLY STORED OUT OF THE WEATHER IN A DRY
COMPARTMENT WITH GOOD VENTILATION.
• SEAT CUSHIONS THAT ARE NOT REMOVABLE SHOULD
BE PROTECTED BY STORAGE OR COCKPIT COVERS.
UPHOLSTERY DAMAGE AND MILDEW CAUSED BY WATER
SATURATION AND/OR IMPROPER CLEANING AND STORAGE
WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE BLACKFIN LIMITED

Canvas and Side Curtains
Acrylic (Sunbrella) canvas should be rinsed fre-
quently with clear, fresh water and cleaned peri-
odically by using a mild soap and water. Scrub
lightly and rinse thoroughly to remove the soap.
Do not use detergents. The water should be cold
or luke warm, never hot. Scrub with a soft brush
and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry.
The top or accessories should never be folded or
stored wet.
After several years, the acrylic canvas may lose
some of its ability to shed water. If this occurs,
wash the fabric and treat it with a commercially
available water proong designed for this purpose.
Blackn recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.
