B. ACRYLIC PORTLIGHTS, WINDOWS
& HATCHES
1. First rinse off with fresh water and
then wash all Portlights, windows
and hatches with 3M™ Marine Multi-
Purpose Boat Soap, use a clean soft
cloth and apply only light pressure.
Rinse with clean fresh water and dry

chamois.
2. Never use window cleaning sprays,
scouringmaterialsorsolventssuchas

3. If masking tape is put on to acrylic
material it must be removed as soon
aspracticableasthegluecouldcause

4. Acrylic materials can be polished to a
high grade nish and slight scratches
removed. We recommend the use
of McGuire’s Mirror Glaze No. 17.
Polishing should be done by hand as
excess heat generated from machine
polishing couldcause distortion of the
acrylic material and subsequent water
leaks.
5. WerecommendthetmentofExternal
Sun shades to the Coach roof Side
windows; this will help to reduce the
build-up of heat within the vessel and
prevent deterioration of the Acrylic
WindowsealsfromtheeffectsofUltra
Violet(UV)Rays.

2. Regular cleaning with 3M™
