AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 182
provide protection from the sun while operators and passengers
are out on the water. Mooring or towing covers protect Aviara
boats from the elements while being towed, moored by a dock,
or in storage.
Operation
Most covers are intended for use when the boat is moored or
stored. These canvas covers will snap or ratchet into place. For
information regarding powered manual sunshades, see the
sunshade section immediately following.
Special Attention
On-going care is required to keep canvas material in good
condition for the life of the boat. See Cleaning the Boat section
of this Owner’s Manual for more information.
The use of canvas covers, especially dark colored ones, in hot, sunny
conditions, can result in temperatures inside the boat in excess of
140°F/60°C. Prolonged high temperatures can heat interior metal and
other surfaces to the point that brief contact with the skin may cause
serious burns. Carefully remove the cover and allow the interior to
ventilate and cool before allowing anyone on board.
