1. Rinse with Fresh Water
After every trip, give your boat a fresh-water wash down, including the outboard motor if it has one. Make sure to completely remove the salt residue that can eat away at the boat’s finish if you boat in a saltwater environment.
2. Wash the Superstructure
With a soft sponge and marine soap, wash in small portions – and rinse – the exterior part of the boat above the deck (superstructure) including vinyl seats, deck boxes, windshield, etc.
3. Scrub the Deck
Scrub in small portions – and rinse – the deck, fittings, hull, and outboard motor using a biodegradable, pH-balanced marine soap and a deck brush with medium stiffness bristles. If you choose a brush with bristles that are too stiff, it can harm the boat’s finish.
4. Dry the Superstructure
Thoroughly dry the boat with a soft, dry cloth.
5. Clean the Windows and Protect the Upholstry
Clean the windows using a commercial cleaning solution or vinegar and water. Treat all vinyl with a commercial vinyl treatment to protect and preserve your boat’s upholstery.
