CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE-3
Aluminum
The windshield and window frames on your yacht are
manufactured of aluminum, unless you purchased,
as an option, stainless steel frames. The aluminum
components are cleaned and maintained in the
same manner as the components manufactured of
stainless steel.
DO NOT use kerosene or lemon oil on any painted
aluminum surfaces, as they will soften and re-
move the paint.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning agents or steel
wool products when cleaning aluminum. Alumi-
num scratches very easily and these products
will scratch the surface.
Safety Glass
The windshield and windows on your yacht are
manufactured of safety glass similar to the safety
glass found on your automobile. The safety glass
on your yacht is much heavier and thicker than the
glass on your automobile and meets or exceeds all
American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards.
The safety glass may be cleaned with the same
soap and warm water solution used for cleaning the
exterior surfaces of your yacht and then dried with a
soft towel. For a thorough cleaning and to remove
all water stains, use a quality window cleaner, such
as Windex, and dry with a paper towel.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning agents,
abrasive cleaning cloths, or pads when clean-
ing safety glass surfaces, as they will scratch
the surface.
Acrylic Plastic
The venturi windshield, which is located on the bridge
of your yacht, is manufactured of a tough acrylic plas-
tic. Clean the acrylic plastic surfaces with a mild soap
and water solution or non-ammonia based cleaner
and dry with a soft cloth.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning agents or
abrasive cleaning cloths or pads when cleaning
acrylic plastic surfaces, as they will scratch the
surface.
RADAR ARCH
Your radar arch (if applicable) is constructed from
aluminum to give it strength, rigidity, wire access,
and hardware mounting ability. It has a very du-
rable painting fi nish backed by a 3-5 year limited
warranty. In order to maintain the high luster fi nish
and the warranty of this product, please follow these
instructions:
GENERAL CARE:
Wash your radar arch with mild, non-abrasive
soap and water, using a soft cloth on a regular
basis. This will help maintain the shine on your
radar arch by keeping the salt and atmospheric
acids from dulling your fi nish.
To add extra shine and durability to your radar
arch we suggest you wax the fi nish after washing
the radar arch, with a clear-coat, non-abrasive
wax.
