Care and storage

(8) Wax the hull with or other non-abrasive
wax designed for marine gelcoat.
WARNING! Slippery surfaces can
cause falls and injury. Be careful not to
apply too much wax on deck and gun-
wale stepping surfaces. This will make
them slippery.
(9) Wipe all vinyl and rubber components,
such as the seats and engine compart-
ment seals, with a quality vinyl protec-
tant. NOTICE: Some well-known
“protectant” products on the market
can actually damage vinyl over time.
Consult a Yamaha Boat Dealer for de-
tails.
(10) Vacuum and hose-off the carpeting as
necessary. If needed, use a quality
brand-name carpet cleaner product to
clean soiled areas. NOTICE: Always dry
the carpet face up. Never roll up the
carpet. 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
to air dry thoroughly before storage.
