BENETEAU FIRST 36.7 Owner's Manual page 36

The Outside Teak Woodworks :
Scrub the woodworks using water.
The teak woodworks do not need any particular protection. If you just rub them down with fine
sandpaper, it will renovate the look of the teak.
Plexiglass:
Rinse with fresh water. Clean them using a sponge and a cleaning product for windows.
The Rudder :
Every year have the whole steering system overhauled.
3) INSIDE
Whenever the weather makes it possible, air and ventilate regularly your boat, take off the floorboards,
the berth spreads and put them vertically when you leave the boat.
Protect the inside of your boat as often as you can with the fitted curtains.
Make sure that the bilges are clean and dry.
The internal woodworks are varnished in most of our boats ; therefore you have to rinse them with fresh
water and a liquid detergent, then polish them with a chamois leather.
The cleaning of the fabrics, cushions or lining of your boat depends on the materials used. Therefore you
must contact a skilled specialist before you do anything.
Fresh Water System
It is possible to sterilize the tanks with Clonazone tablets (Dygerma in UK, or a product sold in your
country and containing the equivalent molecule, i.e. Tosylchloramid) which are available at the Chemist's.
If the boat is not used for a long period of time, rinse the tanks and pipes with water and vinegar.
Engine
Have the whole drive system overhauled and maintained by a skilled mechanic and refer to the
instructions by the engine manufacturer , These instructions are supplied with your boat.
Keep the fuel tank as full as you possibly can in order to avoid condensation.
4) RIGGING
You must examine once a year the running and standing rigging. Take advantage of this examination to
maintain them.
Carefully rinse the running rigging with fresh water at the end of each season.
