MasterCraft 2007 X-Series User Manual

dyes are metabolic products of the micro-organisms, otherwise known as a form of fungi.
It is virtually impossible for consumers to avoid these micro-organisms as they exist in the atmosphere. It is also
more prevalent in high-humidity areas. Rain can cleanse the air with the result that the micro-organisms are deposited
on items such as marine vinyl.
While the vinyl is treated to resist the growth of micro-organisms (meaning the vinyl is not a food source), the
stain results from failure to properly clean and maintain the vinyl. This means that after use, the upholstery must be
cleaned with a soft brush and warm soapy water, followed by a thorough rinse with clean water. If this procedure is
not followed, the micro-organisms can fi nd the marine vinyl to be a suitable host site. This situation is worsened if the
boat is stored without proper ventilation or if the boat cover is put on while the vinyl is still wet, creating a situation in
which all forms of fungi (mold and mildew) thrive.
The organism causing the pink stain has been identifi ed by the Burlington Scientifi c Corporation as Streptover-
ticillium reticulum, although there are other strains of organisms that can cause stains.
Failure to follow these instructions in the proper care of upholstery can cause your war-
ranty to be voided!
The cleaning table presented in this section is offered only as a suggestion and as an aid in attempting to deal
with stains. We cannot guarantee that the cleaning methods will work. Stains from any external source are
unlikely to be covered by warranty.

Carpet
Occasionally washing with mild deter-
gent and warm water or household carpet clean-
ers will help keep the carpet clean. Thoroughly
hose the detergent out of the carpet and into the
bilge. (This is usually the best time to clean the
bilge also.) Allow the boat to remain uncovered
in the sun for several days to prevent any mildew
or odor caused by moisture.
Teak Wood
Regular cleaning and oiling of teak
wood will maintain its original appearance. Use
a teak cleaner that can penetrate the pores of
the wood and cleanse them of dirt and stains.
Avoid caustic teak cleaners since they can dam-
age the wood. Immediately after cleaning, an
oil sealer should be applied with a soft cloth.
Allow a couple of hours for the oil to soak into
the wood and apply a second coat. Wipe off
excess oil to prevent a varnish look.
Windshield
Cleaning the windshield when needed
is an important safety precaution. Your Master-
Craft windshield is made of tempered safety

glass and requires special cleaning to prevent scratches to the surface. Use a mild soap solution and damp cloth only.
Harsh detergents, solvents, chemicals or dry cloths could damage the windshield. Also, when your boat is in service,
avoid using the windshield as an aid for balance or getting out of a seat. This causes undo stress on the window frame
and could damage it.
Stainless Steel and Chrome
Stainless steel and chrome-plated parts are not totally resistant to corrosion. Occasional cleaning and polish-
ing with a marine chrome-and-stainless polish will maintain and extend the useful life. In salt water areas, rinse all
hardware with fresh water and apply a light coating of protective oil to enhance the appearance after each use.
