Canvas Care (see also, ‘Clear Vinyl Care’ on next page)
After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the canvas with cold freshwater. Before stowing, let the canvas air
dry completely.
The canvas can be rolled or folded for stowage.
Regularly clean the canvas to prevent dirt, pollen, and etc. from embedding in the fabric. Generally, it is easiest to
wash the canvas while it is installed on the boat.
!
CAUTION
Never use detergents when washing the canvas. Detergents can destroy the water repellency,
and mildew/UV resistant finish of your canvas.
