Clean each fabric item before any period in which it will be stored.
Always avoid rolling or storing your fabric cover when it is wet or damp.
Doing so can encourage the growth of mold and mildew.
Note: Mooring covers are not intended for winter storage. Please see
the section titled “Storing Your Boat” in this manual for more
information on storage practices.
To best maintain the fabric items on your Manitou, always observe the
following recommendations:
Protect fabric from sharp edges or corners. Repair all tears and rips
immediately.
Avoid parking your covered boat under trees. Tree sap contains
chemicals that can break down fabrics.
Do not allow water or heavy snow to stand or puddle on fabric items.
Never machine wash and dry the fabric items.
Do not use solvents to clean fabric items.
Do not clean fabric items in a commercial car wash.
Do not pressure wash or steam clean your fabric items.
Snaps and Zippers
The snaps and zippers on the fabric items on your new Manitou may be
stiff at first, but will loosen with use. To ease the opening and closing of
snaps, you can lubricate them with petroleum jelly. To protect the fabric
from tears, do not pull on the cover to unsnap a row of snaps. Instead,
proceed one-by-one, gripping the snap itself. Use care when starting a
zipper to prevent damage. Never force a zipper to move.
Vinyl-Coated Fabrics
It is important to keep acrylic and Napa topcoat vinyl-coated fabrics
clean and stain free. Before cleaning these fabrics, determine the level of
soiling. Then follow the appropriate directions provided in this section.
Note: Always remove stains immediately.
Light Soiling
1. Dampen a soft cloth with a solution of one part household liquid dish
soap to nine parts warm water.
2. Rub the soiled area gently.
