Moisture, dirt, chemicals from industrial fallout, heat, ul-
traviolet rays and in some cases, salt water are factors
which affect the longevity of acrylic covers.  See Figure
O9.
1.
Moisture can cause shrinkage  and mildew.  Allow
the cover to dry thoroughly before disassembling tops.

ing the weather cover with Lysol Disinfectant™ or similar
product will help prevent mildew.

2.
Dirt creates a starting point for mildew when mois-
ture is present. Clean the top with a sponge or soft
scrub brush and mild detergent when  the cover is
installed.  Make sure cover is snug to help prevent
shrinkage.
O - 7     WINTERSTORAGE
The boat must be properly protected during winter dry
dock storage. Awinter storage cover is advisable. Many
marine dealers offer shrinkwrap enclosures for outdoor
storage. See a Four Winns dealer for information on the
availability of winter storage covers or other alternatives
for storage.

Chemicals cause decay if allowed to accumulate for
longperiodsoftime.   Keepthecovercleantoprevent

Heat can cause cracks in vinyl components and stiff-
ening of fabric when enclosed in plastic or polyethyl-
ene. DO NOT store the weather cover in polyethyl-
ene under direct sunlight or high temperature situa-
tions.
When storing outdoors, make sure the supporting frame-
work keeps the weight of the snow and rain from accu-
mulating on the storage cover. Proper ventilation must
also be provided or dry rot and mildew will occur.  See
Section R - General Maintenance  for additional winter
storage information.

Ultraviolet degradation may occur under prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight. Store the top in the boot
when not in use.

MAINTENANCE
Salt water can corrode  brass, aluminum, or stain-
less steel fittings and fasteners. Keep fittings clean,
lubricated, and waxed to prevent corrosion.
Clear vinyl curtains and windows demand extra care to
prevent scratching. DO NOT use cloth or chamois skin.
Dirt or grit in the cloth will scratch the vinyl window. Hose
clean water onto vinyl to rinse off salt, dirt, or grime.

matic dryer. DO NOTdry clean or steam press.

rinsing.  Re-rinse. If leakage continues, apply a coat of
