Upholstery Cleaning<br />
Foreign Deposits<br />
Tree sap, bird droppings, air borne chemicals, petroleum<br />
products and other foreign matter may damage the gel<br />
coat surface if not removed promptly (See Washing<br />
Instructions).<br />
All upholstery items on your boat are made of tough marine<br />
grade vinyl that is easily cleaned with a mild detergent.<br />
Strong detergents and cleaners may shorten the life<br />
of the vinyl. PLEASE SEE VINYL MANUFACTURER’S<br />
RECOMMENDED CARE GUIDE INCLUDED IN YOUR<br />
OWNER’S PACKAGE.<br />
Drying Upholstery<br />
Boat Hull Protection<br />
If your <strong>Moomba</strong> is to remain in the water for an extended<br />
period, the hull below the water line should be painted with<br />
a marine bottom paint. Boats left in the water for extended<br />
periods of time without bottom paint may experience<br />
blistering or discolorization. This type of damage is not<br />
covered by your boat’s warranty.<br />
Teakwood Care<br />
If teak wood has been installed on your <strong>Moomba</strong>, a small<br />
amount of maintenance will be required to retain the natural<br />
beauty. Teak wood should not be varnished. Instead, teak<br />
oil or mineral oil should be applied. Oil should be applied<br />
three to four times per year. If teak has been allowed to<br />
become gray and dry, sand with fine grit paper and reapply<br />
teak oil.<br />
Damage caused by improper care, cleaning agents,<br />
conditioner oils, waxes, gasoline, etc., IS NOT covered<br />
under your boat’s warranty. Use only the recommended<br />
vinyl cleaner as listed on the Vinyl Care Instruction<br />
Sheet.<br />
Please refer to www.marinespecialtiesgroup.com for<br />
more information regarding vinyl care.<br />
Wet Slipping Boats<br />
It is important to provide for the drying of all upholstery<br />
and carpet after each use of the boat. Open all storage<br />
compartments and slide all removable cushions out about<br />
an inch to allow air to circulate behind.<br />
- In the event of large storms, boats in wet slips are<br />
more likely to be damaged.<br />
- If you do not use the boat often, the battery can go<br />
dead from pumping out water.<br />
- The boat may develop organic growth which can<br />
greatly reduce performance, attack and discolor<br />
the gelcoat.*<br />
- The boat may develop osmotic blisters.*<br />
- The boat may get a stain line which cannot be<br />
removed.*<br />
* Painting the area below the waterline of the boat with<br />
Interlux products will reduce the likelihood of these last<br />
three.<br />
