Care and storage

water may flood the boat and cause it
to submerge.
(7) Spray the exterior of the engine with
Yamalube Silicone Protectant & Lubri-
cant, or an equivalent. For areas requir-
ing heavy protection, use Yamashield™.
(8) Wax the hull with Yamaclean Spray
®
Wax or other non-abrasive wax de-
signed for marine gelcoat. WARNING!
Slippery surfaces can cause falls and
injury. Be careful not to apply too
much wax on deck and gunwale step-
ping surfaces. This will make them
slippery.

such as the seats and engine compart-
ment seals, with Yamaclean Vinyl Dress-
ing™ or other quality vinyl protectant.
NOTICE: Some well-known “protec-
tant” products on the market can ac-
tually damage vinyl over time. Consult
a Yamaha Boat Dealer if you want to
use a product other than Yamaclean
Vinyl Protectant.
(10) Vacuum and hose-off the carpeting as
necessary. If needed, use Yamaclean
®
Carpet Cleaner or other quality brand-
name carpet cleaner product to clean
soiled areas. Roll up the carpet face out
for storage. NOTICE: Always dry the
carpet face up. Never roll up the car-
pet while wet. Never fold the carpet.
(11) Wash the fabric of the bimini top with a
mild natural soap in lukewarm water,
then rinse. Do not use detergents. Allow
