A (tin-free) anti-fouling painting every year will make it possible to avoid tedious and frequent careening. An epoxy coat is recommended befo-
rehand. You are reminded that any excessive sanding before your antifouling paint attacks your gel coat and impairs its reliability.
Your boat may regain her shine as new if polished. If a lasting and isolated problem arises, contact your dealer.
Carreening
PRECAUTION
- When applying the anti-fouling paint do not paint over the electronic instrument sensors nor the anodes.
- All bronze or steel surfaces, including the propellers, should be protected by a suitable antifouling paint (consult your dealer).
RECOMMENDATION
- During the refit, check the anodes (See "Motorisation" chapter).
- When the boat is stored at a dry dock, the corrosion protection is not as effective due to oxidation of the anodes: even the new
anodes oxidize the surface. Before returning the boat into the water, clean the anodes.
- Cleaning anodes: use sandpaper.
Do not use metal brushes or steel tools to clean the boat, it may damage the galvanic protection.
- Replacing the anodes: the anodes are fastened with screws and nuts. First, remove the screws and nuts that hold the anode,
then clean the contact surface. Press the new anode to obtain a good electrical contact.
