Minor superficial repairs
You can repair minor surface damage to the boat's deck yourself. However, achieving a neat,
unnoticeable repair requires a considerable amount of skill:
1.
Protect the area around the damage with tape.
2.
Bevel the edges of the damaged area and clean with acetone.
3.
If the damage is deeper than 2 mm, it is advisable to smooth it with an appropriate
polyfiller before painting.
4.
Mix topcoat with 1.5-2% hardener.
5.
Fill the repair with more topcoat than needed, so that its surface remains slightly
proud of the surrounding area.
6.
Carefully put tape over the repair.
7.
After the topcoat has hardened, remove the tape and sand the repair using 600 and
1200 paper applying water.
8.
buff using abrasive paste and wax
The colours used on this boat are specified in the
Technical specifications
. One point to
consider is that a paint called gelcoat has been used in manufacturing the boat, but the
surface 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.
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 modifications.
NOTE!
It is important to use aluminium or stainless steel screws and
rivets when installing accessories. 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.
