AquaTrac platforms:
AquaTrac should be handled only with
clean hands. Oil, grease or dirt may leave
permanent imprints on the surface. When-
ever possible, keep the platform covered
when the boat is not in use. It should be
stored dry.
Spills: Scoop or scrape up as much of
the spill as possible, followed by a thor-
ough blotting of the remaining spotting
with a dry, clean cloth. If cloth is not avail-
able, paper towels are an acceptable substi-
tute.
Non-oil Based Stains: Create a deter-
gent solution by adding 1/4” (one-quarter
inch) teaspoon of liquid dish detergent to
one (1) cup of warm water. Apply the so-
lution to the affected area (do not scrub)
and blot with a dry, clean cloth. Repeat the
process until the stain stops transferring to
the cloth. If the stain still appears on the
platform, apply the solution to the area and
allow it to stand for 2-5 (two-to-ve) min-
utes. Then rinse with clear, clean water.
Oil-Based Stains: Apply naphtha-
based (hydrocarbon petroleum) solvent
or mineral spirits to the affected area and
follow the instructions on the solvent con-
tainer. Use care when using such solvent
cleaners as directed on the container in-
structions as there may be health matters
to consider when using these solvents. Al-
ways work from the outside into the center
of the stain. Do not scrub!
If stains still appear, the surface may
be restored by lightly sanding the area with
24-36 grit sandpaper. The sanded area will
probably appear slightly lighter than the
rest of the platform but should blend into
the overall color in time.
Fiberglass Swim Platform
The berglass swim platform requires
the same kind of regular—and gentle—
cleaning that the rest of the boat needs.
After cleaning off any environmental de-
bris, wash with mild soap and warm wa-
ter. Avoid the use of ArmorAll or similar
types of rubber-shine products as these will
speed the decay of the rubber rather than
protecting it.
