Minor superficial repairs
Minor damages to the boat’s gelcoat surface can be repaired by yourself. However, a neat,
unnoticeable repair requires a considerable amount of skill:
1.
Tape off the area around the damage. This is to ensure that the area around the damage
isn’t accidentally damaged.
2.
Bevel the edges sloping into the damaged area and clean with acetone.
3.
In the event that the damage is deeper than 2 mm it can be advisable to fill it with an
appropriate polyfiller.
4.
Mix topcoat with 1.5-2% hardener and fill the repair with more topcoat than needed, so
that its surface remains slightly proud of the surrounding area.
5.
Carefully put a tape over the topcoat (masking tape or brown parcel tape).
6.
After the topcoat has hardened, remove the tape and sand it using 600- and 1200-paper
applying water.
7.
Buff using abrasive paste.
The colours used on this boat are specified in the section on Technical Specifications.
NOTE!
Certain post delivery installations may cause damage to the structure of the boat
or impair safety if not performed correctly. Please contact the dealer before any
questionable works are carried out on the boat.

Winter storage
Preparing boats for winter storage is an annual autumnal 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 below zero temperatures (for example, the rain water draining system will
freeze). It is advisable to perform all maintenance repair and inspection procedures when
lifting the craft.
Please familiarise yourself with the servicing instructions provided in the engine manual. We
recommend 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
separate instructions and manuals.
