6.7 CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Best protection against oxidation of electrical components, like main switch, navigation light
switch, connectors etc. is ensured by spraying them with moisture repellent antioxidant every
now and then.
6.8 MINOR SUPERFICIAL REPAIRS
Minor damages in the gelcoat surface of the hull or deck can be repaired by yourself.
However, a neat, unnoticeable repair needs skill:
1. Tape off the area around the repair.
2.
Bevel the edges sloping into the repair area and clean with acetone.
3.
Mix gelcoat with 1.5-2% hardener
4. fill the repair with more gelcoat than needed, so that its surface remains slightly above
the surrounding area
5. carefully put a tape over the repair
6. after the gelcoat has hardened, remove the tape and sand the repair smooth as
needed
7. buff the repair using abrasive paste
The colours used on this boat are given in chapter 2.
7 TRANSPORT AND DOCKING
7.1 TRAILER TRANSPORT
The Yamarin 6230 is an easy boat to trailer. However, make sure that the trailer suits your
boat, in other words, that it has sufficient number of supports to decrease point loads, that its
capacity is sufficient for the boat, engine and accessories etc. The maximum gross trailer load
is given in your car's registration certificate.
The keel supports of the trailer should carry most of the boat weight. Adjust the supports on
each side so that the boat cannot sway sideways. The approximate location of the supports is
shown in figure 2.
Clean the supports from sand and dirt so that they do not scratch the bottom of the hull.
Check once more that the trailer hitch is properly locked!
The hoisting place should be sheltered and the slipway long enough. The trailer should be
backed into the water until the rearmost keel support is just below water surface. Drive the
boat's bow slowly against the rearmost keel support. Attach the winch wire rope to the towing
eye and pull the boat onto the trailer while checking that the boat is aligned with the trailer
centre line.
Tie the boat firmly down to the trailer before transportation. A safety rope at bow must be
directed forward and downward. Aft movement shall be prevented by a line over the boat, as
shown in fig. 2. Do not leave any loose accessories or extra load in the boat during transport.
NOTE!
Certain post delivery installations may cause damage to the structure of
the boat or impair safety if not performed correctly. Consult the dealer
before you perform, for instance, new earthings, hatchces, holes etc., or
have them made by somebody else.
