the ropes in fresh water. Replace any worn ropes. Leave bushing valves open. Remove the
drain plug for the winter.
Electronic instruments are best protected against oxidation and theft by detaching them and
removing them to a dry indoor environment for the winter. Detach the batteries and store
them in a warm, dry place. Charge the batteries at least twice during the winter. Spray the
couplings of the electrical system with an appropriate water repellent antioxidant.
Always cover your boat so that water or snow cannot gather inside. Always make sure,
however, that it is adequately ventilated. A winter storage cover is available as an optional
accessory for your boat.
NOTE! Make sure that the winter storage cover or its ropes do not touch
the aluminum hull. If the cover or its ropes abrade the hull, they
will leave black marks on it.
7.2 Measures before launching the boat
Repair any damage to the gelcoat surface according to section 6.9.
In sea areas, antifouling paint should be used to prevent the hull from becoming covered
with vegetation. Fouling of the bottom and especially the propeller increases fuel
consumption remarkably. However, if the boat is anchored at the inlet of a stream or in a
land-locked lake, or if it is lifted out of the water at least once every two weeks, it is normally
not necessary to use antifouling paint. Carefully follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions
when applying the paint. When sanding old antifouling paint, remember that the dust is
toxic. Antifouling paint is not necessary in fresh water (lake areas).
NOTE! Do not apply any paint to the zinc anodes, depth finder sensor, or
piston rods of the hydraulic trim tabs. Do not apply paints
containing copper or lead on aluminium parts. and remember to
follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions. The warranty does
not cover damage caused to the hull by antifouling paint
containing lead or copper.
Useful tip: Do not throw away a used paint brush. A dried-up
antifouling paintbrush can be rejuvenated by soaking it for a
couple of hours in a mixture of 2 l hot water, 1 dl vinegar and 0.5
dl baking powder.
Perform the necessary service procedures required for the engine according to the engine
manual. Check the functioning of electric equipment and remove any oxidation from fuse
connectors etc.
Remember that petrol goes stale over time, and you must always start the engine with fresh
petrol in the spring.
