Thought for the day...

"Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit."
- Brooks Atkinson

Canvas 101

Your canvas protects your boat. Sunbrella and other canvas materials do wonders to keep your boat dry and protect it from the sun. But eventually the material is going to begin to wear. It gets dirty from the wind and rain. And you will notice water leaking through your canvas.

There are ways to extend the life of your canvas and regain the water proofing protection.

1. First, clean it! And not just spray it with the hose occasionally to remove bird droppings. At least once a year remove the canvas, use a mild cleaner on both sides and rinse well. We recommend Woolite - yes, your canvas should be considered a "delicate"! If you notice mold or mildew, use an appropriate cleaner to remove the stains.

2. Let the canvas dry fully before putting it back on the boat.

3. Now you're not done yet! You've got clean canvas - a clean slate and it needs some help - waterproofing. There are several waterproofing products available. Marine Outfitters recommends 303 Waterproofing. We feel this product works the best - but any brand of waterproofing is better than none. Follow the directions on the product. A light mist over all of the canvas will do wonders.

Don't forget about the zippers. Boat supply stores sell various types of lubricant to put on the zippers to keep them from sticking. Zippers are just as important as the canvas to keep your boat clean and dry.

And finally, the snaps on your canvas. Without working snaps, your canvas isn't going to be able to protect your boat. Replace any snaps that are worn or missing. Or if a snap has torn out of your canvas, be sure to get it repaired.

At Marine Outfitters we can repair your canvas - replace a snap or zipper. A little preventive maintenance and you'll get extra years out of your canvas and it will look great!

New use for an old space

Many older boats had built in tv's. Most of these tv's no longer work so often times there's a empty space that you don't know what to do with. Of course you can use the space for storage. But there are other options. Here's an example of a custom designed lighted wine rack and glass holder by Marine Outfitters.

UV protection for your boat*

Like the sunscreen you use, your boat needs UV protection as well. Vinyl windows and upholstery get baked by the sun, drawing the plasticizer's out of the material - essentially drying them out. You can easily extend the life of your vinyl windows and upholstery (done by Marine Outfitters!) with just a little preventative maintenance.

303 Aerospace Protectant provides SPF 40 protection for the marine envrionment. It carries a UV screen that reduces fading degradation due to ozone, acid rain and weather. Treated materials retain their original like-new appearance year after year. And unlike many products it does not contain silicone, oils, waxes, glycerin or petroleum distillates and, so, leaves a non-oily, antistatic finish that repels dust, dirt and staining. Treated surfaces stay cleaner reducing maintenance.

Simple updates = new look

Even if there is nothing wrong with your boat's interior, you can get tired of it. By simply adding a new color and making a couple upgrades, you can achieve a brand new look.

Old boat made to look new!

The hull's in good shape. The engine(s) are fine. Your boat's interior? Not so great? The sun is one of your boat's worst enemies. Marine Outfitters can help you fix the faded interior and make your boat look new again.

Sea Ray 350 Front Berth Makeover

A client of Marine Outfitters hired us to recover the walls of their front berth and reupholster the trim pieces to match their new curtains/comforter. The walls had water stains and the old material was outdated. The new wall covering and updated accent material gives it a brand new look!
