Familiarise yourself with the service procedures shown in the engine manual (see annex).
Carry out the procedures carefully, or ensure they are performed by an accredited service
company
6.1 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. The boat's aluminum and fibre glass surfaces can be washed with a pressure washer.
Observe 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 with a pressure washer on the caulking seam
under the rubbing strip. Pressurised water can damage the glued
seam.
NOTE! Do not spray water directly on the boat's air grills, or the water
may penetrate the boat's interior and structure.
The instrument panel is made of plastic and can be washed with soap water; never use
solvents to clean it.
Cleaning the aluminum hull
The hull should be washed with a special aluminum cleaning agent.
Remember to dry the boat.
The waterline and bottom of the boat must be washed in temperatures of at least +10 °C,
and only after the hull is completely dry.
Protecting the aluminum hull
When the aluminum hull is completely clean and dry, it can be protected against oxidation.
Oxidation is a natural reaction of aluminum against corrosion and does not affect the boat's
quality.
Useful tip:
When the boat has been washed with tap water, a thin chalk-like
layer of lime and minerals will remain on the boat’s surface after
it has dried. The problem can be eliminated by adding a few drops
