Quicksilver 855WE — Maintenance
71
Solvents are ammable. Exercise proper care. Wear rubber
gloves during all cleaning acvity. Use cauon when
cleaning around stching or decorave trim as these
solvents could seriously damage such areas.
When staining from build-up does occur, use only cleaning agents that are recommended for marine
gel coat. Never use an abrasive cleaner to wash your boat’s hull, nor use an abrasive pad to aempt to
remove stubborn stains. Never use strong solvents to clean.
3. Component Maintenance
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is strong and corrosion resistant, but sll requires maintenance to keep its appearance.
Frequent roune cleaning of your stainless steel will help maintain the nish.
Quicksilver® recommends that you wash stainless steel components with mild soap and cold or
lukewarm water aer every use of the boat. If added protecon is necessary, apply a cleaning wax.
Even the nest cleaning powders can scratch or burnish a mill-rolled surface. On polished nishes,
rubbing or wiping should be done in the direcon of the polish lines, not across them.
Crevice corrosion, a brownish coloring which occurs where two pieces of stainless hardware meet is
caused by impuries in water and air. It can be easily cleaned with a good grade marine polish using a
sponge, cloth or small bristled brush (for nooks and crannies).
Cushions
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt, ultra-violet rays etc. will take their toll on vinyl products causing them to
lose their luster and texture. To clean, remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild soap and water
soluon. Dry with a so, lint-free cloth or towel. More dicult stains can be cleaned using rubbing
alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). Rinse cleaned area with fresh water and dry with a clean, so, lint-free
cloth or towel.
Your cushions are not waterproof. They are constructed of open-cell foam and will absorb and hold
water. Do not leave the cushions in standing water or exposed to heavy, prolonged rain. If, in the
event your cushions become waterlogged, remove the foam from the cushion, press as much water as
you can from the foam and allow to air dry. To prevent mildew, keep the vinyl dry and make sure that
moisture does not accumulate between the cushions.
Never use abrasive cleaners, detergents or so scrub type
cleaners to clean stainless steel. Never use abrasive pads,
brushes or sponges to aempt to remove stubborn stains.
Never use strong solvents or detergents which contain
chlorine, and never use silver cleaners.
The cleaner your stainless steel can be kept, the greater the
assurance of opmum corrosion resistance. Without proper
care even the best stainless steel will corrode.
Canvas
Chang, ber wear from dirt and grit and deterioraon from ultraviolet light can cause your canvas to
degrade over me. The fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, pollen, etc.
are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The canvas can be cleaned
without being removed from the installaon.
