accumulate between the cushions when stored. Do not store until they are completely
dry.
The hook-and-loop fasteners are used to hold the cushions in place on the seat. They
need to be cleaned by water and mild soap when dirty. Do not use jet / pressure water
nozzles when cleaning them. Although they are of high quality, they will eventually wear
out from use, sun exposure and wear from stepping on them. They are considered a
consumable and need to be replaced as needed. A first roll of spare fastener tape is
provided with the new boat.

6.3.2 Acrylic windows

Acrylic windows are easy to form and strong against impact. The surface is however not
as hard as glass, and therefore more sensitive to scratches than glass. To clean it, first
soak/hose well with plenty of fresh water to remove particles. Then use a mild detergent
and water solution, and a soft sponge while keep rinsing. Wash the sponge often to
remove any sharp particles. If needed, wipe with a soft cloth.
NEVER USE any strong chemicals, glass cleaners, polish or wax, unless it is specifically
developed for acrylic windows.
NOTE
DO NOT use abrasives, harsh chemicals, or metal scrapers on glass.

6.3.3 Fender list

The fender list has a D-shape and is mechanically attached to the hull. As a fender, it will
eventually have physical contact with other boats, docks and so on. Such contact will
result in scratches, small deformations and some friction marks. This is natural and could
be left unattended if the fender is functional and well attached to the hull.
If the fender is dirty or discolored, use regular mild detergents like boat shampoo and a
soft brush. If the fender looks faded, a treatment with "tire/bumper shine" or similar
care products for rubber can be used. Ask you Ockelbo dealer for advice if you are
uncertain.

6.3.4 Plastic panels

Use only regular mild detergents like boat shampoo and a soft sponge or rag for
cleaning. Do not use polish and other abrasive chemicals and tools as they may ruin the
surface.

6.3.5 Hinges and latches

The hinges and latches do not require any periodical maintenance and are grease-free.
They can be cleaned with regular detergents. Some of the latches for storage hatches are
adjustable to compensate for wear of seals of the hatches. Loosen the bolts that hold the
latch in place and adjust it. The holes are oval to allow for easy adjustments. Adjust it so
that the hatch closes firmly against the seal and thus is watertight. Adjustments may be
