How do I clean the aluminum pontoon tubes on my Manitou?
Remove algae, scum, or other marine growth while they are still wet. This is nearly impossible to do once dry. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives to clean aluminum tubes. Toon Brite is a popular product for cleaning your pontoon boats.

How do I clean the carpet on my Manitou?
Your Manitou owner's packet has specific cleaning instructions. If a stain starts to develop, it can be cleaned with warm water and a mild household detergent. Do not use strong solvents to clean the carpet, as permanent damage to the fibers will occur.
