3 Maintenance
3.1 Hull
Warning : the Chantiers AMEL advise that any repairs on the fiberglass hull of the Super
Maramu 2000 should be done by skilled workers, able to maintain and repair that kind of
material.
Using abrasive and / or corrosive products and equipment (harsh detergent, stiff brushes, …)
is forbidden.
Using a high pressure water machine is not advised, unless regarding the following
instructions :
- the distance between the hull and the pipe must be at least 20 cm (approx. 8 in),
-
the stream’s pressure must not exceed 80 bars (approx. 1130 PSI),
- never add any abrasive (sand,..) to the stream,
- don’t use the stream perpendicularly to the hull, but at 45° only.
To maintain the hull above the floating waterline :
c put the boat out of the water, lifting it by the U-bolts forward and aft. Use 4 slings
of at least 6 m (approx. 20 feet) long each, taking care to make longer the
outside strands of the crane of a shackle length (to avoid the spring stay will
damaged by the crane’s hook). As the boat is out of the water, it can stand on
his ballast, but we STRONGLY recommend that screwstands be employed.
