Waxing decks, cockpit floors or other walking
areas is not recommended. Waxing will
produce a very slippery surface, especially
when wet. Wax may also buildup in the skid-
resistant surfaces. Be sure all persons wear
deck shoes while aboard the boat. Footing will
be improved and feet will be protected from
accidental cuts and bruises.
NOTICE
DO NOT use acetone, paint thinner, solvents,
or strong alkaline based detergents, nor
cleaners with a “gritty” and abrasive texture.

phosphate. Common examples of these types
