Servicing and maintenance
Keep your boat and its equipment clean and tidy. This increases comfort and safety on
board, and also the boat’s resale value.
Familiarise yourself with the service procedures shown in the engine manual (see annex).
Have your engine serviced according to the instructions in the manual.
6.1
Washing and waxing the boat
Cleaning fibreglass surfaces
Normally it is sufficient to just wash and wax the deck. Special boat cleaning agents are most
suitable for the purpose. Do not use strong solvents; they can cause glossy surfaces to fade.
Mildly abrasive polishes can be used to remove chafes and embedded dirt from the deck.
The boat's aluminum and fibre glass surfaces can be washed with a pressure washer.
Observe
the chemical manufacturer’s instructions when washing and cleaning the deck. The
cleaning and maintenance instructions given here apply to
Star brite products, available at well-stocked boating shops.
Useful tip:
Washing the boat will be easier if it is done immediately after
getting the boat out of the water.
NOTE!
Do not spray water with a pressure washer on the caulking seam
under the fender list. Pressurised water can damage the glued
seam.
The hatches of the glove compartment and instrument panel are made of plastic and can be
washed with soap water; never use solvents to clean them.
Cleaning the aluminium hull
First wash off loose dirt above the water line using
Star brite Boat Wash in a Bottle
(a concentrated boat washing chemical, to be used in a mixture of 3 corkfuls per 10 l of
water). Remember to dry the boat.
The waterline and bottom of the boat must be washed in temperatures of at least +10 °C,
and only after the hull is completely dry. For the waterline and the bottom, use
Star brite
Aluminum Cleaner,
which cleans the waterline and bottom of slime and grime.
Star brite
Aluminum Cleaner is easy to use: Pour some cleaner in a plastic bucket and brush
the hull of the boat with vertical strokes from the bottom up to prevent trickling. Let the
cleaner take effect for 1
–
2 minutes (but do not let it dry). Rinse thoroughly. The cleaning
process can be enhanced and speeded up by rubbing the surface with a sponge or a brush
while the cleaner is applied. If you are working in the sunshine, only apply cleaner to an area
that you will have time to wash before it dries.
