6 Servicing and maintenance
Keep your boat and its equipment clean and tidy. This increases comfort and safety on board, as
well as the boat's resale value.
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.
Other areas in need of regular maintenance include:
−
steering and control devices
−
the canopy (optional accessory)
Make sure to perform their maintenance according to their separate instructions and manuals.
6.1 Washing and waxing the boat
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 reinforced plastic
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.
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 of pine oil soap into a bucket of rinsing water, which will soften it.
Useful tip: Water and lime stains on stainless steel rails and handles disappear when you apply
some Lemon Pled furniture spray. Your railings will shine like the day they came off the assembly
line.
Useful tip: If the boat's ropes smell bad after the season, immerse them for a couple of hours in a
bucket of water with a bottle of apple vinegar and a splash of fabric conditioner added. Allow the
lines to dry properly, and they will be as good as new.
6.2 Care instructions for seat cushions
To keep the boat's seat cushions in good condition, they should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated
space. 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. Therefore, always remove the cushions from the boat for the night, if you wish to keep
them dry and in good condition. The warranty does not cover cushions spoilt by rain or damp.
The press studs of the seat cushions should be sprayed with silicon spray every now and then;
otherwise, they may become so tight that the fabric will tear when trying to open them. The
warranty does not cover ripped seat cushions.
Useful tip: Mouldy spots on artificial leather boat seats will vanish if you wipe the seats with
lemon juice concentrate with a dash of added salt. A fresh scent will linger on the seats.
