14.6.3 Light alloys and stainless steel
It is a good rule to accurately wash the entire yacht after each navigation,
in particular all metal parts that may be damaged by salty humidity. Have
plenty of fresh water sprayed on handrail, windows, skylights, rub rail,
anchors and cleats.
Protect all metal parts with Vaseline oil periodically.
S
CAUTION
Some hull areas (fastening area of the propeller shafts supports, of
submerged exhausts, around the thrust propellers housings, etc.) at
which can be carried out further works after the hull molding; in those
areas are usually used fillers that, with time, may generate localized
faults, as for instance bubbles or small cracks. These little faults do not
impair the hull mechanical strength at all. To repair them, it is sufficient
to sandpaper the area, by removing possible bubbles and by re-
applying fillers suitable for the bottom hull.
MAINTENANCE
At least once a year check the fastening of all metallic parts of the yacht.
S
CAUTION
The aft window is not watertight, so do not point the jet of water directly
towards the window, when washing.
S
CAUTION
Never use brushes or abrasive rags on metallic fittings, not even on
rusty spots, scratches on the surface result in a less shiny appearance
and diminish the mechanical features.
