Maintenance
EN
The boat is easy to maintain and reliable in opera-
tion. However, only if the boat is properly operated
in accordance with this manual and carefully main-
tained its long life may be ensured.
Maintenance of the boat must be carried out at an
official dealer every 6 months or every 100 hours,
whichever comes first.
Installation of the outboard motor (PM) must be
carried out in a certified service center in accordance
with the PM operating instructions.
When parked, the boat must be securely moored,
and measures should be taken to prevent mechanical
damage to the hull.
Before setting sail, check the outboard motor’s at-
tachment to the boat, the electrical equipment, and
the steering device properly. If necessary, trouble-
shoot the problem.
During the operation, it is necessary to carefully moni-
tor the condition of the hull and equipment of the
boat, avoid fouling the bottom of the hull with algae,
and promptly eliminate damage and malfunctions.
After swimming, the boat should be cleaned of dirt.
Remove water from the hull and, if necessary, rinse
with fresh water.
ATTENTION! Most boat modification work or
installation of additional equipment can, if not
performed correctly, damage the boat’s structure
or be dangerous. Contact the manufacturer before
starting work, such as installing new hatches and
openings, setting new electrical wiring, installing
equipment, or connecting aluminum to other metal
alloys.
Wash the entire surface of the boat and awnings with
a soft cloth or sponge using a special detergent at
least once a month.
Regularly dry and clean the removable cockpit carpet.
Dry and clean chairs and sofas regularly. To ensure
long-term use of leather coverings, use only the tools
intended for this purpose when cleaning.
If you have any questions about the operation and
maintenance of the boat, please contact the official
dealer.
ATTENTION! When operating the boat in seawa-
ter, wash it with fresh water afterward.
