AFTER RUNNING
THE ENGINE(S)
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 par
-
ticularly important after running at high revs.
• Stop the engine(s) by turning the ignition key to position S.
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 the whole year, the hull should be polished
approximately every fourth month.
• Polish the stainless and chromed parts with Autosol or similar
chrome polish.
• Aluminium parts are cleaned with freshwater to which soap solution
is added if necessary.
• Rinse the cover in freshwater. Allow to dry thoroughly before fold
-
ing away.
• A teak deck requires maintenance. It is recommended to clean 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 cleaners.
WOODEN INTERIOR
Interior details of the boat such as locker doors and drawer fronts,
wooden strips etc. are in 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 instruc
-
tions (marking) or as follows: Wash in 40°C with light spin-drying and
hang to drip dry. The material may shrink slightly. If you want to avoid
this, take the fabrics to a dry cleaner.
The tracks of sliding doors and hatches shall be cleaned regularly and
lubricated if necessary. Do not lubricate sliding surfaces. Lubricate
handles and locks with regular lock lubricant.
Cleaning
Let the cover soak for at least 24 hours.
The cover should be thoroughly cleaned twice a year. You should then
wash the in- and outside 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 nal rins
-
ing to neutralize the soap residues. Finally hang the cover to drip dry.
CAUTION!
Never use high pressure washers or chemical cleaners.
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 apping.
CAUTION!
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.
Winter store the cover in dry indoor conditions.
The cover must not be stored in the boat..
PREVENTING FROST DAMAGE
• The bilge pump system is tted with a water lock on the hose.
Detach the hose and fully drain the water from the water lock and
run the pumps dry. Otherwise the pumps can freeze and break.
• Unscrew the frost plug on the underside of the shower ttings. If
there is no frost plug, unscrew the shower hose.
• Drain the water tank and all other components containing water in
order to avoid frost damage.
• Run the freshwater pump dry to drain out all the water.
• Make sure that no water remains in the boat under any circum
-
stances. Leave the hatches in the cabin partially open.
