• Clean all tracks frequently, where travelers are functioning. Also, the mast
track.
• Min. once a year clean and grease the winches and check the springs.
• Always keep the sails covered when not in use to protect from the sun.
• Keep the sails dry and rinse regularly with freshwater. If sails get damaged
immediate repair is required.
• Let a sailmaker check the sails once a year when the boat is + 3 years old.
Best in the fall, when they have time.
• Have the engine serviced min. once a year and according to the
manufacturer.
• Be sure to have antifreeze cooling on the engine cooling system in cold
climates.
• Check that all sea corks are working well min 4 times a year.
• Empty water and holding tank before the winter.
• Empty the hot water boiler before the winter.
• Check engine oil.
• Change the engine pump cooling water system impeller.
• Check diesel fuel filter.
• Check zinc on propeller and sail drive.
• When the boat is not used for some time fx like over winter, fill up the
diesel tank 100% - and ask locally if diesel needs special extra Bio
treatment.
• Make sure always to keep the rings on the float decks clean. Often rinse
this with just water. If they start squeezing (making noises), spray these
with Teflon type spray every now and then.
• Check that al
l lines look to be ok.
• Check that the handles on the deck hatches are not loose. If so, just tighten
the screw on the "inside" of the handle.
• Check the seams on the trampolines and the cables on the trampolines and
the Swing-Wing system are ok. Any sailmaker can repair the trampolines.
• Always make sure to have power on the batteries. Never let them go
below 10.5 V. Check how your exact type of battery can be stored best
over winter or when the boat is left alone for a longer time – this is very
important.
Please note that this is only our simple and basic service recommendation on
what to check and service – there might be other special products on your boat
that also need attention and service like watermaker, air conditioner etc.
