Hello

I just bought a 170 CC myself. I am new to Triumph and Ropolene but as far as canvas goes. Sunbrella requires cleaning with a very mild soap and every few years it needs to be waterproofed. I use Starbrite for my other boat but think I will be changing to 303 formular, it last longer but cost more.
Keep the oil resvoir on the trailer half full and if it discolors change it, might have water in it which is never good.
Make sure you go slow with the screws so you don't overheat the plastic. You can also seal them with Elastometiric sealant, that might help.
Good luck. O yea how fast is your boat?
Thanks
Tom
