The colours used on this boat are specified in the Technical specifications. One point to con -
sider is that a paint called gelcoat has been used in manufacturing the boat, but the sur -
face is always repaired with a paint called topcoat. Gelcoat paint does not harden without
a mould surface, whereas paraffin has been added to topcoat to allow it to harden.
WARNING!
Be careful when handling the hardening agent. If the hardening agent vessel / bottle leaks,
or some agent drops onto a dirty floor or rag, there is a very high risk of the surface catch -
ing fire. Do not throw into the rubbish bin any rags or vessels containing topcoat / hard -
ening agent mixture. Always use protective eyewear when handling topcoat or hardening
agent. If you get hardening agent in your eyes, immediately rinse with tap water and
then consult a doctor.
NOTE!
Later installations and alterations, if incorrectly carried out, may damage the structure of
the boat or compromise safety. Please contact the dealer if you are planning any modifica -
tions.
NOTE!
It is important to use aluminium or stainless steel screws and rivets when installing ac-
cessories. There are ready-made fittings for a depth finder sensor (Garmin) on the boat’s
transom.
NOTE!
When installing accessories on an aluminium surface (except in predetermined locations),
always use aluminium rivets and insulating washers to avoid corrosion.
10.10. Winter storage
Preparing your boat for winter storage is an annual routine. Have your boat lifted in good
time before the water freezes. Your boat is not designed for use in ice and it is not meant
to be used in temperatures below zero (for example, the rain water drainage system will
freeze up). It is advisable to perform all maintenance, repair and inspection procedures in
connection with placing the boat in winter storage.
Familiarise yourself with the service procedures shown in the engine manual. We recom -
mend that you leave them to an authorised service agent. Do not forget to service the
remote control and steering system. Make sure to perform their maintenance according to
their separate instructions and manuals.
10.11. Inspections before winter storage
Have your boat lifted in good time before the water freezes. Your boat is not designed for
being driven in ice, or for remaining in the water when it freezes.
Wash the bottom of the boat immediately after the boat has been lifted. Algae and slime
will come off easier if they are not left to dry.
Give the engine and other equipment their winter servicing, following their separate man -
uals. If your boat is stored outside or in a humid place over the winter, empty it of textiles
and other equipment that may corrode or become mouldy in damp conditions. Wash the
ropes in fresh water. Replace any worn ropes. Leave bushing valves open. Remove the
drain plug for the winter.
Electronic instruments are best protected against oxidation and theft by detaching them
