If the top or boat cover is suitable in size
for a washing machine, these steps
should be followed:
• Use only natural soaps—no detergent.
• Wash and rinse in cold water. Air dry. (Never put the fabric in a dryer.)
As part of the finishing process, the material has been treated with
a fluorocarbon finish, which enhances water repellency.
This finish is designed to last for several years, but it must be
replenished after a thorough cleaning. Based on test results, the
manufacturer recommends 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ as the
preferred retreatment product.
After cleaning and air drying, apply 303 in a thin, even coat. When
it has dried, apply a second thin, even coat. These two (2) light
coatings are more effective in restoring fabric water resistance
than a single heavy coating. Keep in mind that 303 High Tech Fabric
Guard™ will work only as well as it is applied. This means that the
fabric must be free of dirt and detergents or the Fabric Guard will
wash away with the dirt particles.
Fabrics should be retreated after thorough cleaning or after five (5)
years of use.
ENCLOSED HEAD
An enclosed head is found on the X26 model. This convenience
should be emptied on-shore within an acceptable holding tank, sep-
tic system or sewer. It should never be emptied within the boating
body of water or on-shore, except in an approved receptacle!
The head should be cleaned after each outing. After thoroughly
cleaning with a mild detergent, add a neutralizing chemical made
especially for portable heads, such as that found in RV centers. The
neutralizing chemical will help deal with potential odors that might
otherwise be foul. (See also Head under the Boat Operations sec-
tion of this Owner’s Manual.)
