English
Always cover your boat so that snow cannot gather inside. Always make sure, however, that there
is adequate ventilation. As an optional extra there is a winter storage protector for your Yamarin 63
Day Cruiser.
7.2. Prosedures before launching
Repair possible damages to the gel coat surface according to section 6.10.
In coastal areas an antifouling paint should be used to prevent the hull from becoming covered.
Fouling of the bottom and especially the propeller increases the fuel consumption remarkably.
However, if the boat is anchored at the inlet of a stream, on a land locked lake, or if it is lifted out
of the water at least once a week, it is normally not necessary to use an antifouling paint. Carefully
follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions when applying the antifouling paint. If you are sanding
old antifouling paint, remember that the dust is toxic.
At lake areas antifouling is not needed and not recommended. However, we recommend using ep-
oxy primer if the boat is left in the water for several months each year. Fresh water, especially warm
fresh water is absorbed easier to laminate than seawater.
NOTE!
Do not apply any paint to the zinc anodes, log sensor, or piston rods of hydraulic trim tabs.
Do not apply paints containing copper on aluminium parts and remember to follow the
paint manufacturer’s instructions.
Useful tips:
Do not throw away a used paint brush. A dried and hardened paint brush that has been used for an-
tifouling paint can be reused if you first soak it for a couple of hours in a mix of 2 litres of hot water,
100 ml of vinegar, and 50 ml of baking powder.
Perform the necessary service procedures according to the engine manual. Check the function of
electric equipment and remove possible oxidation from fuse connectors etc.
Remember that eventually, petrol turns stale in time, and that you should always use fresh fuel
when starting the engine for the first time after winter storage.
When the boat has been launched you should open all hull bushings and check to ensure that
there are no leaking hoses or connectors. Bring the safety equipment on-board before setting off.
