M - 2 WINDSHIELDS
ThewindshieldonallFunship™modelsisstandard
equipment. The windshield consists of tempered
safety glass and the windshield frame consists of a
powder-coated aluminum. For easy accessibility to
and from the bow, a walk-thru center windshield is
standard. Stainless steel supports or braces are used
in most of the windshield assemblies.
We recommend you close and secure the
walk-thru windshield while underway. Damage
to the windshield could result.
Secure windshield with strap when in open
position. Securing the walk-thru windshield will
help prevent the windshield from accidently
slamming closed due to high wind and/or wake
condition, thus reducing the chance of damage
to windshield or injury.
Windshields made of tempered glass can be cleaned
with automotive glass cleaners or dishwashing soap
and water. Use a clean cloth to prevent scratching
t
he glass.
Aluminum can be cleaned with similar products
or with nonabrasive cleaners such as Fantastic.
NOTICE
Read the label before using any product.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.

E. Maintenance
The majority of the hardware installed is made of
stainless steel. Regardless of the type of hardware
used, periodic maintenance is necessary.
The manufacturer of our hardware recommends the
following when washing your boat:
1. Rinse the hardware with fresh water after each
exposure to saltwater.
2. Periodically wash the hardware with mild soap,
warm water, and a sponge. Then dry it with a soft
cloth.
3. Avoid cleaners, abrasives, waxes, and most of all,
do not use steel wool.
NOTICE
All ttings must be periodically inspected
