6 Servicing and maintenance
Familiarise yourself with the service procedures shown in the engine manual (see
attachment). Carry out the service carefully, or ensure it is performed by an accredited
service company
6.1 Washing and cleaning the boat
Normally it is sufficient just to wash and wax the deck and sides. A special boat cleaning
agent is most suitable for the purpose. Mildly abrasive polishes can be used to remove
chafings and embedded dirt. Fibreglass surfaces can be washed with a pressure washer.
Useful tips: When the boat has been washed using 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 tips: Water and lime stains on stainless steel rails and handles disappear when you
apply some Lemon Pled furniture spray. The rails start shining just as nice as they did when
the boat left the shipyard.
Useful tips: If the boat's ropes smell bad after winter storage, immerse them for a couple of
hours into a bucket of water and add a bottle of apple vinegar and a splash of fabric
conditioner for clothes. Allow the lines to dry properly.
6.2 Care instructions for seat cushions
In order to ensure that the boat's seat cushions remain in good condition you are advised to
always use the canopy or harbour cover when raining. Although they are made of water
resistant material, their seams can let water in. If the cushions remain damp for any length
of time, they may grow mouldy and become damaged. So always take the cushions inside
for the night, if you want them to stay dry and in good condition. The front seats will remain
dry if you always remember to use the protective bags on them. The warranty does not
cover cushions spoilt by rain or dampness. During winter storage they must be stored in a
dry and well-ventilated space.
The press studs of the seat cushions should be sprayed with a silicon spray every now and
then, otherwise they may become so tight that the fabric is torn when trying to open them.
The warranty does not cover ripped seat cushions.
