2021 OWNERS MANUAL / 358
In some instances, consumers have reported the appearance of
a pink stain on vinyl that is resistant to various cleaning methods.
Although there can be other causes for pink staining in vinyls, most
pink stains are caused by dyes produced by micro-organisms.
These 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-organ-
isms as they exist in the atmosphere, and are more prevalent in
high-humidity areas. Rain cleanses the air, with the result being 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 fail-
ure 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.
This situation is worsened if the boat is stored without proper venti-
lation 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.
Failure to follow these instructions in the proper care of upholstery
may cause your warranty to be voided!
The cleaning table presented in this section is oered only as a
suggestion and as an aid in attempting to deal with stains. We do
not guarantee that the cleaning methods will work. Stains from any
external source are unlikely to be covered by warranty.
