CLEANING/MAINTENANCE/STORAGE

Proper care and maintenance greatly extends the life of your valuable boat. During the season: Check the

bottom regularly to make sure there is no excessive build up of marine life. The surface of the boat should be

cleaned with a solution of mild soap and fresh water after each use when possible. To avoid abrasion and wear, be

sure that all the sand, small rocks, oil and dirt have been flushed away from the boat surfaces, particularly the

inside deck next to the tubes. UV Radiation is - The Number One Enemy of PVC Inflatable Boats. With this in

mind, We recommend that you cover your boat when it will not be in use for extended periods of time. While we

realize that it is not practical to cover your boat every time you get out of it, if the boat is not going to be used for

from the sun. It helps to keep the boat looking like new. Apply 303 Protectant every 2-3 weeks to extend the life of

your boat. Fuel Spills and Engine Exhaust - can damage the fabric of your Inflatable Boat.

Products never to use for cleaning your inflatable are: solvents, MEK, toluene, acetone, bleach,

ammonia, highly alkaline cleaners (anything with a pH greater than11.5), abrasive scrub pads, steel wool. They

will weaken, damage and discolor the fabric and attack the adhesives.

to dry thoroughly in the shade before storing it. Then put on a coat of 303 Aerospace Protectant. It helps keep boat

materials supple. Store in a dry place. Use care when storing as some rodents love to burrow into a

stored inflatable. Store your craft rodent-safe. It is not necessary to store the boat deflated. If space is not an

issue it is perfectly fine to leave your boat inflated during off season. Your boat should be clean and dry. It is not

necessary or store your boat in a heated area. Make sure that your boat is not stored "wet", especially if it will be

subjected to freezing conditions during storage. Freezing and thawing water can damage the seams of the boat.
