Windshield
Cleaning the windshield when needed is an impor-
tant safety precaution. Your MasterCraft windshield is
made of tempered safety glass and requires special clean-
ing to prevent scratches to the surface. Use a mild soap
solution and damp cloth only. Harsh detergents, sol-
vents, chemicals or dry cloths could damage the wind-
shield. 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 polishing
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.
Sun Top and Boat Cover
Occasional cleaning of the top and cover should
be done with mild soap and warm water. Thoroughly
wet the entire surface and use a soft-bristled brush.
Rinse completely and allow to drip dry. Then allow it
to lay in the sun until completely dry. After cleaning,
treat with a water repellent as necessary.
For heavy soil, a mild solution of 1/3-cup bleach,
1/4-cup household soap and one gallon of water may
be used for soaking. DO NOT allow to soak for more
than 20 minutes. Longer can cause deterioration of
the stitching. Rinse complete and allow to drip dry.
Then follow up with time in the sun until it is com-
pletely dry.
We strongly recommend the use of
MasterCraft’s GMP products, which
are specially formulated for use in
your boat!
