SPECIAL CARE & CLEANING

The marine environment (sun, salt, pollution, and bird droppings) requires special products for proper care and cleaning. Your dealer is best suited for recommendations on marine care and cleaning products that work best in your area.

Canvas

The convertible/bimini top is made of acrylic materials. To gain longer life and top performance from your canv as including windshield connector, side and aft curtains, bow and cockpit covers , w e recommend the following:

● The canvas and clear plastic are not designed to withstand long periods

of time exposed to the elements as a protective cover at dock side or when your boat is in storage. A full, properly fitted, light colored mooring transportation or storage cover should be used for these purposes.

● If canvas gets wet during use, remove side curtains and open windshield

so seams can dry out. The air circulation will allow all canvas to dry and prevent the growth of mildew. Never store wet or damp canvas.

● Occasionally set up all canvas and curtains and hose down with fresh

water to remove accumulated soot and dirt. Sweep or brush the underside of the canvas to prevent the accumulation of dirt and mildew.

● The outer canvas surfaces can be cleaned with a soft scrub brush and

either automotive convertible top cleaners or household cleaners suitable for use on acrylic surfaces. The underside of the canvas may be periodically sprayed with a spray disinfectant to prevent the growth of mildew.

● Do not store or dock your boat under trees. Tree sap is very corrosive to

canvas and can also be harmful to gelcoat and vinyl interiors.

● Adjust top bows to eliminate pockets in which rain water can accumulate.

The weight of this accumulated water can collapse the top or bag the canvas.

WARNING

Never trailer your boat with the convertible/bimini canv as (including side curtains, aft curtain, windshield connector, bow cover and cockpit cover) up. Monterey Boats’ canv as is not designed to withstand the high wind loads of trailering. Severe wind damage can occur such as torn material, fastener pull-out and frame distortion. Damage caused by trailering is not covered under the limited warranty.

● Zippers and snaps should never be forced. Occasionally lubricate with

silicone/Teflon grease.

● When trailering, dismantle, roll or fold and securely stow all canvas to

prevent damage . Monterey recommends purchasing a transportation cover

M-4

to keep your boat clean on the road. Your Monterey Dealer will assist you in finding a suitable cover (not available from Monterey Boats).

● Roll clear plastic (isinglass) curtains (do not fold) and store in a clean,

dry place.

● Do not allow petroleum products or bug sprays to come in contact with

canvas.

NOTICE

Your Monterey boat is basically an open vehicle. Therefore, in spite of well-designed and well-fitting canvas enclosures, your boat is not waterproof. W e ha ve made e very eff ort to design these enclosures to conform with the boat, but a certain amount of leakage may occur, especially at the seam lines. After cleaning with soap and water, allow seams to thoroughly dry. A sealant can be applied on the seams to somewhat close the needle holes according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Acrylic and Plexiglass

Acrylics and plexiglass have properties that make them ideal for the marine environment. Components such as cabin doors and deck hatches need special care to prevent scr atches and other damage . The following guidelines will help keep acrylics and plexiglass looking good for y ears to come.

DO’S

● Wash your hatches, windshield connector, side curtains and other clear

plastic pieces, as well as other acrylic components on your boat with a mild soap and plenty of lukewarm water.

● Use a clean, soft cloth, applying only light pressure.

● Rinse with clear water and dry by blotting with a damp cloth or chamois.

● Grease, oil or tar may be removed with a good grade of hexane, aliphatic

naphtha or kerosene. These solvents may be obtained at a paint or hardware store and should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

● To maintain a high-luster finish on your acrylics, we recommend that after

properly cleaning, apply Meguiar’s™ Mirror Glaze #10 with a soft towel. Note: If slight scratches appear on acrylics, use Meguiar’s™ Mirror Glaze #17.

NOTICE

Clear plastic (isinglass) is subject to ultraviolet (sunlight) degradation over time. It may turn yellow-br o wn (a burnt appearance) and get brittle. Two things that can accelerate this degradation are:

1. Direct contact with aluminum or stainless steel frames. Use “Standoffs.”

M-5

2. In salt water areas, dried salt crystals on the plastic will amplify sunlight. Wash after each use and/or wind y day.

DON’TS

● Do not subject acrylic material to high temperatures when polishing.

● Do not use glass cleaning sprays, scouring compounds, or solvents like

acetone, gasoline, benzene, carbon tetrachloride or lacquer thinner.

● Do not use masking tapes, duct tapes or packing tapes on your acrylic

materials.

● Do not drill holes in your acrylic materials without proper drill bits (special

bits are used in acrylic material to avoid damage).

Stainless Steel

Marine grade stainless steel components such as hardware, cleats, e y es , and rails offer superior corrosion resistance. When properly maintained, stainless steel will not rust or stain, even in harsh saltwater en vironments . Ho w e ver , if not maintained, stainless steel can rust, discolor, or e v en corrode . The follo wing guidelines will help k eep stainless steel looking good f or years to come.

DO’S

● Clean stainless steel frequently (daily in salt or polluted environments)

with mild soap and plenty of water. Any cleaner safe for use on glass is usually safe for stainless.

● Remove rust spots (especially around welds) immediately with a brass,

silver, or chrome cleaner. Irreversible pitting will develop under rust allowed to remain on stainless for any period of time.

● Remove rust stains on gelcoat. See dealer for recommended product.

● Protect stainless with waxes or polishes suitable for marine use.

DON’TS

● Do not use coarse abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool which may

actually cause rusting.

CAUTION

Apply No-Slip tape or step plates on surfaces which are walked on. Waxed gel coat surfaces are extremely slippery, especially when wet.

● Do not use acids or bleaches which may etch the naturally occurring

protective coating.

● Do not leave stainless steel in contact with iron, steel, or other metals

which cause contamination leading to rust or corrosion.

M-6

Gel Coats

The smooth, beautiful skin of the fiberglass hull is made of gel coat. Gel coat is a strong but thin (though thicker than automotive paint) lay er of colored resin. The best way to k eep the gel coat skin on your boat in top condition is through regular maintenance. The follo wing guidelines will help keep gel coat looking good for years to come .

DO’S

● Keep the gel coat surface out of direct sunlight or covered when not in use.

● Wash gel coat frequently (daily in salt or polluted environments) with mild

detergent and plenty of fresh water . Remo ve any stains quickly. Gelcoat is microscopically porous, so long term staining may become permanent.

● Regularly (monthly in salt or polluted environments) wax gel coat surfaces

with marine grade wax recommended for fiberglass finishes .

DON’TS

● Do not use plastic or other nonporous (non-breathable) materials to

cover gel coat surfaces. Trapped moisture from condensation can cause gel coat damage. Shrink wrap storage covers must be properly ventilated, including hullsides.

● Do not use abrasives, bleaches, ammonias, acids or harsh detergents.

See your dealer for special marine formulations.

● NEVER wax a gel coat surface in direct sunlight.

● Do not attempt to remove stains and scratches. Chalking, stains, and

minor scratches can be removed in most cases with careful rubbing and polishing with appropriate chemicals and is best done by a professional – see your dealer.

M-7

INSTRUMENT CONSOLE

All Monterey boat models are equipped with full instrumentation for monitoring boat performance. Each individually switched electrical circuit is protected with a replaceable fuse. An accessory circuit is provided for additional elecrical accessories. Refer to the Controls and Indicators section for more inf ormation. See page M-20 to M-31 f or Sport boat helms.

BATTER Y SWITCHES

Your boat may be equipped with an optional battery switch which connects/ disconnects all power to the electrical system (except the automatic bilge pump, stereo memory, and electronic corrosion controller if equipped). Two types of battery switches are common; a single battery switch for one battery system, and a dual battery selector switch for systems with an auxiliary battery .

FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM

Some stern drive boats are equipped with an optional Automatic Fire Extinguishing System f or an engine compartment fire. The system is automatically actuated when temperatures reach or exceed a preset limit.

When actuation occurs, a loud popping sound may be heard followed by “rushing” air sound. When a

discharge occurs, immediately shut down all electrical and mechanical systems including engine, and powered ventilation (Blowers).

Do not open the engine hatch at this time! This

feeds o xygen to the fire and flashback can occur . Allo w the extinguishing agent to “soak” the compartment for at least fifteen (15) minutes, and wait f or hot metals and fuels to cool before inspecting for cause or damage.

WARNING

Fire extinguishing agents and fire by-product fumes are toxic; do not breath fire fumes. Accidental discharge can be dangerous and may cause serious injury. do not attempt to service the system unless qualified to do so.

FRESH WATER TANK

KC-2047

TYPICAL DECK PLATE KEY

The fresh water tank is filled through the deck plate filler marked “WATER.” The tank is vented through the combination water fill/v ent fitting; this allo ws air to enter/escape as water lev els rise and fall. The water tank is full when water comes out of the fill/vent fitting.

Notice

Fill the tank only with potable water. Using and refilling the tank often will help keep it a source of clean drinking water.

To fill the tank:

1. Insert the filler cap (special) key provided with your boat.

2. Insert the key into the slot in the cap and turn counterclockwise to unlock.

3. Remove the cap.

4. Using a sanitary drinking water hose (blue or white), fill the tank with clean, fresh drinking water.

5. Replace the cap and lock into position with the key.

Filter and Pump

Water is drawn from the tank by a self-priming pump located in the engine area. Before entering the pump, the w ater passes through a filter to capture any solid contaminants. The pump provides a flow of water at a preset pressure to the remainder of the system.

PUMP INLET

WATER HOSE (FROM TANK)

FILTER HOUSING

KC-2042.1

M-10

PRESSURE SWITCH

PUMP OUTLET

TYPICAL FRESHWATER PUMP

Initial Fresh Water System Startup

1. Fill the fresh water tank (approximately 15 gallon capacity) with potable water.

2. Turn the FRESH WATER PUMP switch “ON.”

3. Open the wet bar faucet to allow air to escape. Close the faucet when a steady flow of water is apparent.

4. Bleed air from the remainder of the faucets, showers, etc., in the same manner as step 3. After all lines have been bled, the pump will build to operating pressure and then shut off.

5. You may now continue to fill the tank to its capacity.

CAUTION

The fresh water pump works on demand and WILL NOT automatically shut-off when the tank is empty. If the switch is in the “ON” position, and the tank is empty, the pump will run continuously and may overheat.

Fresh Water System Maintenance

The following maintenance actions should be performed monthly to keep the fresh water system clean and sanitary:

•Drain the fresh water tank completely (using all faucets, showers, etc.). Refill tank with at least 15 gallons of clean, fresh water and drain again.

• Clean fresh water pump inlet filter screen.

• Rotate housing slightly counterclockwise and pull to separate housings and gain access to the filter screen. After cleaning, reverse procedure. Ensure O-Ring is in place.

Sanitizing the Fresh Water System

If water in the tank has been allowed to stagnate and you suspect that the fresh water system may be contaminated, sanitize the system. To sanitize:

1. Drain the fresh water tank completely (using all faucets, showers, etc.).

2. Mix a solution of 1/4 cup household bleach to 1 gallon of water for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. Pour the solution into the fresh water tank.

3. Fill the tank with clean, fresh water.

4. Turn fresh water pump “ON” and bleed air from all faucets, showers, etc.

5. After approximately 3 hours, drain the system completely.

6. Flush the system with one full tank of water.

7. Fill tank with clean, fresh drinking water.

M-11

If you can smell or taste bleach in the water:

1. Drain the system completely.

2. Mix a solution of one quart of white vinegar to 5 gallons of water. Pour the solution into the fresh water tank.

3. Allow the solution to remain in the tank until approximately one hour of cruising time is logged.

Notice

Boat motion will “slosh” the vinegar/water solution to help clean the tank.

4. Allow the solution to remain in the tank for at least one week.
