3. Component Maintenance
Stainless Steel
Stainlesssteelisstrongandcorrosionresistant,butsllrequiresmaintenancetokeepitsappearance.
Frequentrounecleaningofyourstainlesssteelwillhelpmaintainthefinish.

Quicksilver®recommendsthatyouwashstainlesssteelcomponentswithmildsoapandcoldor
lukewarmwateraereveryuseoftheboat.Ifaddedproteconisnecessary,applyacleaningwax.

Eventhefinestcleaningpowderscanscratchorburnishamill‐rolledsurface.Onpolishedfinishes,
rubbingorwipingshouldbedoneinthedireconofthepolishlines,notacrossthem.

Crevicecorrosion,abrownishcoloringwhichoccurswheretwopiecesofstainlesshardwaremeetis
causedbyimpuriesinwaterandair.Itcanbeeasilycleanedwithagoodgrademarinepolishusinga
sponge,clothorsmallbristledbrush(fornooksandcrannies).
Cushions
Saltwater,saltresidue,dirt,ultra‐violetraysetc.willtaketheirtollonvinylproductscausingthemto
losetheirlusterandtexture.Toclean,removeordinarydirtandsmudgeswithamildsoapandwater
soluon.Drywithaso,lint‐freeclothortowel.Moredifficultstainscanbecleanedusingrubbing
alcohol(isopropylalcohol).Rinsecleanedareawithfreshwateranddrywithaclean,so,lint‐free
clothortowel.

Yourcushionsarenotwaterproof.Theyareconstructedofopen‐cellfoamandwillabsorbandhold
water.Donotleavethecushionsinstandingwaterorexposedtoheavy,prolongedrain.If,inthe
eventyourcushionsbecomewaterlogged,removethefoamfromthecushion,pressasmuchwateras
youcanfromthefoamandallowtoairdry.Topreventmildew,keepthevinyldryandmakesurethat
moisturedoesnotaccumulatebetweenthecushions.
Neveruseabrasivecleaners,detergentsorsoscrubtype
cleanerstocleanstainlesssteel.Neveruseabrasivepads,
brushesorspongestoaempttoremovestubbornstains.
Neverusestrongsolventsordetergentswhichcontain
chlorine,andneverusesilvercleaners.

assuranceofopmumcorrosionresistance.Withoutproper
careeventhebeststainlesssteelwillcorrode.
Canvas
Chafing,fiberwearfromdirtandgritanddeterioraonfromultravioletlightcancauseyourcanvasto
degradeoverme.Thefabricshouldbecleanedregularlybeforesubstancessuchasdirt,pollen,etc.
