Sea-Ray Launchpad
Believe it or not, the water will soon thaw in even the coldest parts of the country, and the warm sun will beam down once again—signaling the glorious start of another boating season! After a winter like this, you’ll no doubt want to hit the water at full speed. In other words, the time is fast approaching to take your Sea Ray out of hibernation and get it ready for a highly anticipated summer of fun and relaxation on the water.
The experts at Great Lakes Boat Top offer some easy tips to help you properly dust off and prepare your canvas after a long winter in storage:
- Do not install isinglass curtains unless it is 65 degrees or more.
- To rid isinglass of fog, let it hang in the sun. Fogginess is caused when isinglass is stored while still wet.
- Clean and treat your canvas with recommended protectant.
- Apply Monofoil Marine to your entire boat.
- Clean and lubricate zippers.
What to look for:
- Missing or loose snaps
- Varmint holes
- Bug nests
And if you discover winter hasn’t been kind to your canvas, make sure to beat the rush and order your replacement canvas now! For more information on canvas care and products, visit www.greatlakesboattop.com.
