7 MAINTENANCE
To counteract decarburising and heat stress after the engine(s) has/have
been run, let it/them idle in neutral for a couple of minutes. This is particularly
important after running at high revs.
Stop the engine(s) by turning the ignition key to position S.
7.1 MAINTENANCE
• The boat requires a certain amount of maintenance. This is especially relevant
for external parts which are exposed to sun and salt water.
A proper maintenance of your boat comprises the following:
• Regularly wash the boat with freshwater.
• If the boat is used throughout the year, the hull should be polished approxi
-
mately every fourth months.
• Polish the stainless and chromed parts with Autosol or similar chrome polish.
• Aluminium parts are cleaned with fresh water to which soap solution is added
if necessary.
• Rinse the cover in fresh water. Allow to dry thoroughly before folding away.
• A teak deck requires maintenance. We recommend cleaning a composite deck
using a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Over time, the teak deck takes on
a satin grey appearance.
• Avoid using aggressive cleaning agents.
8.2 WOODEN INTERIORS
The interior details of the boat, such as the locker doors and drawer fronts,
wooden strips, etc. are made of oiled walnut. Clean them with a damp cloth
and a little soapy water. Treat the wooden surfaces again every year to protect
the wood.
Plastic and painted surfaces are cleaned by wetting the surface evenly with
water before the actual cleaning. Regular stains are removed with a brush and
a lightly diluted cleaner. Grease is removed with a brush/sponge and window
cleaner. Clean the surface afterwards with sponge and water. Wipe dry with a
piece of cloth.
The interior fabrics are washed according to separate washing instructions
(marking) or as follows: Wash in 40°C with a light spin cycle and hang to drip
dry. The material may shrink slightly. If you want to avoid this, take the fabrics
to a dry cleaner.
Clean the tracks of sliding doors and hatches regularly and lubricate if necessary.
Do not lubricate the sliding surfaces of the tracks. Lubricate handles and locks
with regular lock lubricant.
8.3 CLEANING THE COVER
Let the fabric cover soak for at least 24 hours.The cover should be thoroughly
cleaned two or three times a year. After soaking, wash the inside- and outside of
the cover with a sponge or soft brush. Use mild soapy water and plenty of water,
max. 30 degrees Celsius. Rinse thoroughly with freshwater. We recommend
mixing 12% vinegar in the final rinsing water to neutralize the soap residues.
Finally hang the cover to drip dry.
7.4 COVER
New covers may leak initially, since the seams need to swell. To prevent quick
deterioration of the cover, it should be tightly secured in a folded-up position
to prevent flapping.
• Hang to dry. Never use a drying cabinet or iron to speed up drying.
• Check that the cover is completely dry before stowing. A moist cover
can cause mould damage.
• Store the cover in dry indoor conditions for the winter.
• The cover must not be stored in the boat..
• Never use high pressure washers or chemical cleaning agents.
