  • Page 57: Xxi) Handling

    XXI) HANDLING Contact your BENETEAU dealer for maintenance and repair of your boat. The dealer will advise properly, or will supply you with the spare parts you need or the materials that are suited to your boat. Have your boat hauled & serviced once a year.
  • Page 58: Xxii) Maintenance

    After a few years, the gel coat may be re-polished, either with a lambs wool buffer and polish, or by hand using a polish or similar product. Your yard will also be able to supply you with special cleaning products for getting rid of stubborn stains. BENETEAU 461 Page 58 of 70 03/02/07...
  • Page 59 MINOR GEL COAT REPAIRS To fill in a scratch or small dent, order a Beneteau Gel coat Repair Kit with instructions for use, from your dealer or obtain a small quantity of gel coat and catalyst. Clean the affected area and rub it down with wet-and-dry sandpaper, then dry it off thoroughly (use a hair-dryer if necessary).
  • Page 60: Interior Wood

    Should the woodwork become damaged, gently rub it down with very fine sandpaper and touch it with several coats of the varnish. Your dealer will be able to order Beneteau varnish. When this is dry, rub it down with a very fine wet-and-dry sandpaper (grade 800 or 1000) and finish off with polish (or a silicone spray) or wax.
  • Page 61 Maintenance consists of regularly pumping the system out with fresh water and leaving the holding tank empty whenever possible. Check the thru-hulls, seacocks, connectors and hose clamps regularly. Make sure the seacocks turn freely. BENETEAU 461 Page 61 of 70 03/02/07 9:24...
  • Page 62 Water temperature, salinity, the presence of neighboring boats, the nature of the bottom and the materials in the dock will all affect the life of your boat' s anodes. Order your spare anodes thru your dealer or from Beneteau Customer Service. CALIFORNIA...
  • Page 63 (preferably on a lawn) to dry. Never dry a sail by hoisting it and letting it flog in the wind; this will very quickly cause the sail to deteriorate. Never fold and store a damp sail. BENETEAU 461 Page 63 of 70 03/02/07...
  • Page 64: Xxiii) Winterizing Procedures

    The following sections are oriented towards hauling your boat for winter storage in a cold climate, but they are also a good guideline as a lay-up procedure for your Beneteau in any climate.
  • Page 65 If possible, allow this to sit in the tank overnight, then completely pump out and drain the entire system. If antifreeze is used in the system, check in the manufacturer' s literature for the recommended type. BENETEAU 461 Page 65 of 70 03/02/07...
  • Page 66 Completely pump out bilge of any water and clean out any debris present. Bilge pumps should be pumped dry and hoses disconnected, to ensure that no water is left in the system. BENETEAU 461 Page 66 of 70 03/02/07 9:24...
  • Page 67 CAUTION! DO NOT USE BLACK POLYETHYLENE AND DO NOT SHRINK-WRAP THE BOAT BY TAPING TO THE HULL. ALWAYS ASSURE GOOD VENTILATION. SAILS Remove the sails, clean following the sail makers recommendations and store in a clean dry space. BENETEAU 461 Page 67 of 70 03/02/07 9:24 rev 01...
