Washing and waxing the boat
Cleaning fibreglass surfaces
Normally it is sufficient to just wash and wax the deck and sides. Special boat cleaning agents
are most suitable for the purpose. Do not use strong solvents; they can cause glossy surfaces
to fade. Mildly abrasive polishes can be used to remove chafes and embedded dirt from the
deck. Fibre glass surfaces can be washed with a pressure washer. Follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions when washing and cleaning the deck.
Useful tip:
Washing the boat will be easier if it is done immediately after
getting the boat out of the water.
NOTE!
Do not spray water directly into the air intake grilles. The water
could get into the boat and into the structures.
NOTE!
The co-driver’s storage compartment door, the cooker
compartment, the front edge of the sink and the front edge of the
accessory compartment in the console are made from acrylic
material. The instrument panels are plastic. All of these can be
cleaned with soapy water, for example; never use solvents to
clean them.
Useful tip:
If you wash your boat with tap water, it will leave behind a thin,
chalk-like deposit of calcium and other minerals due to the water
hardness. This can be prevented by mixing a few drops of pine
soap solution into a bucketful of rinsing water.
Useful tip:
Water and lime stains on stainless steel rails can be removed using
Lemon Pled
furniture spray.
Useful tip:
If the boat ropes smell bad after winter storage, immerse them
for
a couple of hours in a bucket of water with a bottle of apple wine
vinegar and a splash of fabric conditioner mixed in. Let dry
properly, and the ropes will be as good as new.
NOTE!
Make sure that the cleaning, polishing and protective agents you
use are suitable for the surfaces you will treat with them. Follow
all instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer.

Care instructions for seat cushions
Always use the canopy or harbour cover when it is raining to protect the seat cushions.
Although the seat cushions are made of water-resistant material, water can get in through
their seams. If the cushions remain damp for any length of time, they may get mouldy and
be ruined. If the mattresses get wet, the fabric can be removed by unzipping the mattress
