    9. Environmental protection 9.1 Fuel and oil When filling your Dehler 34 you should be extremely careful. A piece of cloth around the filling cap can avoid fuel getting from the fuel hose into the water. In your engine manual you will also find a diagram with a graph showing specific fuel consumption.

  • Page 52: Backwash

    9.6 Antifouling Paint The part under the waterline of the Dehler 34 can be protected by antifouling paint, since growth and vegetation means more energy consumption just to run the boat. The range of protective paints is large, their effect is wide and therefore the type of paint can be suited to every type of water.
