Repairs; Transport; Trailer Transport - Terhi 4110 Owner's Manual

Soiling of the hull and, in particular, the pro-
peller significantly increases fuel consumption, so
it also pays to keep them clean throughout the
boating season.

4.6 Repairs

For repairs covered by warranty, please see in-
structions in section 1.4. For faults in the engine or
other equipment, refer to the respective suppliers.
The ABS shells of Terhi boats can withstand hard
knocks. If, however, your boat suffers damage, it
can easily be repaired with Terhi Fix repair com-
pound, which is available from your Terhi dealer.
Instructions for use of the compound are provided
in the packet. Instructions for repair can also be
found at TerhiTec Oy's website (www.terhi.fi).
Smaller Terhi boats can be transported by car on
a sturdy roof rack. Larger models should be trans-
ported on a purpose-built boat trailer.

5.1 Trailer transport

You can easily transport your Terhi boat on a trail-
er. Make sure, however, that the trailer is compat-
ible with your boat. Check that the load capacity
of the trailer is sufficient for your boat, its engine
and other equipment. Terhi boats are very light
for their length so ensure that your trailer is suffi-
ciently long to accommodate your boat. It should
have an adequate number of keel supports, and
load bearing supports and all these supporting
points must have a sufficiently large surface area,
so that point loads do not become excessive.
This is especially important on small roller trailers
where there are few rollers as standard.
During transportation, the engine must be in
the lower "trimmed down" running position.

NOTE! If incorrectly done, retro-fitting and modi-
fication work can cause damage to the structure
of the boat or endanger safety. Contact the man-
ufacturer or dealer before commencing any sig-
nificant modification work, such as drainings or
larger surface fastenings.
NOTE! Always check the condition of your boat
immediately after a collision. If the inner or outer
shell of your boat has incurred damage that has
penetrated the plastic layer, it must be dealt with
immediately. Water penetrating through the in-
ner or outer shell can damage the structure of the
boat.

5 Transport

Ensure, however, that there is sufficient ground
clearance below the bottom of the outboard skeg.
Check that the seat hatches are locked with their
security clips in place. Do not leave loose items or
excessive loads in the boat during transportation.
Fasten the boat securely to the trailer, before com-
mencing the actual journey but take care not to over-
tighten the fastening straps. The bow strap should
point forwards and downwards (the winch strap on
its own is insufficient for securing) and swaying of the
stern can be prevented by tying a strap across the
boat. To prevent the straps from marking the boat
use a soft material between the strap and the hull.
Adjust the trailer side supports or bunks, so that the
boat cannot move sideways. Clean all the supports
of sand and dirt, to prevent them scratching the hull.
Finally, check that the trailer is properly locked
to the trailer hook! Allways loosen the fastening
strap immediately after transportation and when
leaving the boat stored on the trailer.
