Maintenance
14.6
The wood used in your boat is treated at the factory with
a multi-coat finish process. To maintain the finish, use a
high grade of furniture polish.
14.3.1.2 Fabric
Some walls on your boat have been crafted with a non-
backed fabric material producing a gentler more pleas-
ing appearance. Cleaning this material simply includes
using a mild soapy water or 50/50 solution of water and
white vinegar to clean water-soluble stains on these
surfaces. Water soluble stains can include drinks such
as soft drinks, coffee, etc. Clean by blotting rather than
rubbing.
Use a citrus based cleaner to remove non water-soluble
stains such as grease or oil. Again, clean by blotting from
the outside toward the center.
14.3.1.3 Hull-liner
See the Fabric section above.
14.3.2 Ceilings
Your ceilings will be either a fiberglass headliner or a
pocketed network of a soft fabric material similar but dis-
tinct from the hull-liner, referred to as Whisper.
14.3.2.1 Fiberglass Headliner
Use a mild soapy water or 50/50 solution of water and
white vinegar to clean water-soluble stains on these
surfaces. Water soluble stains can include drinks such
as soft drinks, coffee, etc. Clean by blotting rather than
rubbing.
Use a citrus based cleaner, acetone or other similar sol-
vent to remove non water-soluble stains such as grease
or oil. Again, clean by blotting from the outside toward
the center.
14.3.2.2 Whisper
See the Fabric section above.
14.3.3 Floors
Maintain your hard wood floors using a soft dust attract-
ing and trapping fabric such as a Swifter. Use furniture
polish to clean water and non-water-soluble stains.
14.3.4 Dinette Table
Clean your dinette table with a mild soap and water solu-
tion or general purpose cleaner.
14.3.5 Cushions / Covers
14.3.5.1 Mattress Cover
Periodically dry clean the mattress cover as appropriate.
14.3.5.2 Leather Cushions
See the Fabric section above.
14.3.5.2 Fabric Cushions
See the Fabric section above. These cushions have a
zippered back to allow the foam to be removed. These
covers can be machine washed from time to time using
a gentle cold-water cycle with mild detergent. Hang dry;
do not machine dry.
14.3.6 Shades
See the Fabric section above.
14.3.7 Shower Grate
See the Cockpit Teak Decking section above.
14.3.9 Bilges
The bilges are finished with a high quality gelcoat which
is easy to keep clean. Several brands of bilge cleaners
will dissolve dirt and grime, but will not harm the environ-
ment when pumped overboard. If you keep the bilge
clean, it is much easier to identify leaks or other problems
if they should develop.
IMPORTANT: The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits
the discharge of oil or oily waste into or upon navigable waters
in the United States. Violators are subject to a penalty.
