    I have a snap on vinyl Crestliner boat cover for my 1650 Fish Hawk. Is it ok to throw it in the washer to be cleaned or will it get damaged by doing this? Thanks in advance for any replies.

    I usually wash mine by having the cover secured on the boat, and take some hot soapy water and a soft brush, then hose off. I don’t think I’d put mine in the washer? Those covers are to $$$ to try and have the washer damage it.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I’m with Jami, soft brush and soapy h2o. I can just envision that cover getting tangle up in the spin cycle. I’d be careful of letting it dry in the direct sunlight, though. I spent 11 years in TX, and I know what direct sunlight can do to anything. It will eat it up.

    I recommend Murphys Oil Soap. Cleans and conditions.

    Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate it. I will give a couple of these options a try & see how it works on my cover.
