SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE OF STAINLESS STEEL
 We use only top quality stainless steels, which are resistant to corrosion. However, this may not
be permanent and maintenance is sometimes required so:
o
Avoid contamination and scoring to the surface.
o
Frequently wash with fresh water.
o
Apply a little marine type grease and mirror polish it regularly.
If you see a sign of rust – clean and mirror polish the area as soon as possible.
WINTERIZING AND STORAGE
 When storing your boat, keep it in a clean and dry place so that is not affected by major
variations in temperature and other conditions.
 You may store the boat:
o
Assembled and partly inflated with a cover so as to protect it from direct sunlight, dirt, dust and
pollution.
 For winterizing:
o
Clean and dry the boat, including seat cushions and any wooden components,
o
Completely drain all water from the hull and bilge compartment.
o
Disconnect and remove the battery.
o
Grease all metal moving parts and connections, including steering.
o
Properly close the fuel system to avoid any vapour leaks.
o
If possible allow air to circulate within the boat, a breathable canvas cover will help.
Winterize the motor, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
