MAINTENANCE
RIB (HIMC) HULL - Use a mild boat cleaning agent or cleaner mixed
with fresh water.
At the start and the end of your boating season check the condition
of fasteners, screws, bolts, nuts, rivets and other fittings. Tighten or
replace if necessary. For information contact Walker Bay® customer
service.
TUBES - After use, rinse boat with mild liquid soap and fresh water,
rinse away sand and debris.
Apply 303 Aerospace Protectant at least once per season to protect
tube from UV (ultra violet) rays. Walker Bay® recommends 303 be-
cause it is free of silicone oils, waxes, glycerin, or petroleum distillates
unlike many other protectants. 303 leaves a like-new, non-oily, anti-
static finish that does not attract dust. 303 can be purchased through
the manufacturer's website: www.303products.com
VALVES - Tighten air valves several times per season. Loose valves
may result in air leaks or loss of pressure in the tube. Tighten valves
with the tool provided in the repair kit.
Valve replacement should be done by a trained professional. Contact
your dealer to replace valves.
WOOD - Wooden components like transoms or seats should be in-
spected for damage or deterioration of the protective finish.
To avoid deterioration of the wood, scratches should be re-painted with
a marine grade varnish or paint.
METAL - To prevent corrosion, Walker Bay uses only stainless steel
and anodized or powder coated aluminum metal parts.
Stainless steel nuts and bolts may show signs of corrosion. This is
due to metallic residue from contact with non-stainless metal items like
screwdrivers or wrenches.
Rinse metal parts with fresh water when cleaning the rest of the boat.
To replace metal parts or add components containing metal, use
stainless steel and anodized or powder coated aluminum to prevent
corrosion.

CAUTION
Do not use oily or abrasive substances.
Do not use products that contain: phosphates, chlorine, solvents,
non-biodegradable or petroleum based products.
Do not use Armor All® automotive cleaning agent and preservative
on tube.
Read labels and instructions carefully to avoid products that could be
harmful to polypropylene, PVC or other plastics.
Use only diluted citrus-based cleaners. They are excellent for marine
cleaning purposes, and safe to use. Full strength citrus-based
cleaners can discolor PVC.
Use household cleaners sparingly and do not discharge them into
waterways.
Avoid contact of the tubes' fabric with hazardous or harmful
materials such as: battery acid, oil, gasoline, vinyl preserving agents,
or alcohol based cleaning solutions, waxes, or solvents.
Avoid contact of sharp or abrasive objects with the tube. They can
puncture the tube.
Do not mix cleaners and work in a well ventilated area.
