IMPORTANT UPDATES
ese pages contains important updates to your Owner’s Guide. e
information pertains to the sections noted. Please read and follow the
information.
Exterior Wood Table
Exterior wood tables need regular care maintenance.
High Gloss Finish Table
If your table has a high gloss finish it should be cleaned weekly with non
abrasive soap and water. To remove minor scratches and to protect the surface
we recommend using 3M Perfect It Polish applied with a soft polishing pad.
When the table is not in use, it should be kept covered with a water resistant
breathable cover.
e exterior high gloss table is a custom ordered table that is requested by the
dealer when the boat is ordered. e exterior high gloss table comes without a
warranty because it is used on the exterior of the boat.
Teak Table
If you have a teak table it should be oiled on a regular basis. We recommend
monthly to keep the wood from drying out. When the table is not in use, it
should be kept covered with a water resistant breathable cover to protect it from
the elements.
e exterior teak table is an optional part and the warranty period for the table
is the same as your boats limited warranty period which starts from the date of
delivery to the original owner.
Finish Repair Procedures
Although the process will allow damaged areas to be repaired with
amazing results, it is only a repair procedure. Items repaired may not be
restored to their original pristine condition.
Wood Finish Buffing Procedure
1. Clean surface with 3M cloths (3M #23589).
2. Identify the problem area & start sanding with 1200, 1500 & 2000 grit sandpaper.
3. Clean area with alcohol and confirm area is ready to be buffed - if not, repeat
steps 1 thru 3.
4. Start buffing with a small amount of 3M Extra Cut Compound using the 3M
Perfect It Buffing Pad #05737 (White Color).
5. Next apply a small amount of 3M Finesse It Final Finish Compound using
the 3M Perfect It Buffing Pad #05725 (Black/Grey Color).
6. Repeat if necessary if swirl marks appear.
7. Clean up area with 3M cloths
(3M #23589) and 3M Clean and Shine.
