NOTICE
7.3.1 Cleaning the cover
The cover needs to be thoroughly cleaned two or three times a year.
Never use high pressure washers or chemical cleaning agents.
NOTICE
1. Let the fabric cover soak for at least 24 hours.
2. After soaking, wash the inside and outside of the cover with a sponge or a soft brush.
Use mild soapy water and plenty of water, max. 30°C.
3. Rinse thoroughly with freshwater.
Axopar Boats recommends mixing 12% vinegar in the final rinsing water to neutralize the soap
residues.
4. Hang the cover to drip dry.
7.4 Preventing corrosion with sacrificial anodes
Sacrificial anodes are installed on the boat's trim tabs and engines to protect metallic parts from
corrosion damage. The anodes need to be replaced regularly as they wear out to protect other metallic
parts.
•
Inspect the anodes monthly.
•
Replace them when approximately fifty percent of the anode has deteriorated.
In general, anodes need replacement once a year in fresh water, and more frequently in saltwater
environment. If there is an increase in the consumption speed, it can be a sign of electrical issue and the
root cause should be investigated.
7.5 Preventing frost damage
•
The bilge pump system is fitted with a water lock on the hose.
◦
Detach the hose and fully drain the water from the water lock and run the pumps dry.
Otherwise the pumps may freeze and break.
•
Unscrew the frost plug on the underside of the shower fittings.
◦
If there is no frost plug, unscrew the shower hose.
