 2023 OWNER’S MANUAL 
Machine Washing Canvas Covers
Machine washing is not recommended, however if the canvas fits 
in the washing machine MasterCraft recommends:
Use only natural soaps—no detergent.
Wash and rinse in cold water. Air dry. (Never put the fabric in  
a dryer.)
As part of the finishing process, the material has been treated with 
a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellent.
This finish is designed to last for several years, but it must be 
replenished after a thorough cleaning. Based on test results, the 
manufacturer recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the 
preferred re-treatment product.
After cleaning and air drying, apply 303 in a thin, even coat. When 
it has dried, apply a second thin, even coat. These two (2) light 
coatings are more eective in restoring fabric water resistance 
than a single heavy coating. Keep in mind that 303 High Tech 
Fabric Guard™ will work only as well as it is applied. This means 
that the fabric must be free of dirt and detergents or the Fabric 
Guard will wash away with the dirt particles.
Fabrics should be retreated after thorough cleaning or after five 
(5) years of use. 
ENCLOSED HEAD
An enclosed head is found on the X26 model. The head should 
be emptied on-shore within an acceptable holding tank, septic 
system or sewer. It should never be emptied within the boating 
body of water or on-shore, except in an approved receptacle.
The head should be cleaned after each outing. After thoroughly 
cleaning with a mild detergent, add a neutralizing chemical made 
especially for portable heads, such as that found in RV centers. 
The neutralizing chemical will help deal with potential odors that 
might otherwise be foul. (See also Head under the Boat Operations 
section of this Owner’s Manual.)
