NOTE! The tarpaulin and its fastening ropes will chafe
the surface of the boat if they flap and move in the
wind, so fasten them with care.

4.3 Engine and other equipment

Study the engine manual for instructions on winter
storage and servicing and the spring overhaul. Have
them done by a qualified service engineer or, if you do
it yourself, take the utmost care over the task. Other
equipment requiring regular servicing includes:
- steering and engine control equipment
- navigation lights
- covers
- battery
Remove the batteries during winter storage, store
them in a cool dry place and charge them at least twice
during the winter. Spray electrical connections with
suitable anti-moisture and anti-corrosion substances.
Carry out servicing on other equipment according to
their manuals and instructions.

4.4 Anti-fouling

If the boat is used mostly in the sea, vegetation can
be prevented from sticking to the bottom hull by using
anti-fouling paints. All light-toned, hard anti-fouling
paints are suited for anti-fouling of the Terhis. Care-
fully follow the paint manufacturer's instructions. The
water line dimensions for anti-fouling can be found on
the TerhiTec homepage (www.terhi.fi).

4.5 Care and maintenance

Repair, or have repaired, any possible scratches or
dents, according to section 4.6. Small surface scratches
can be ignored as they do not adversely affect the in-
tegrity of the boat. Washing and waxing, as described
in section 4.1 will help to keep the boat clean and neat
throughout the boating season.
Soiling of the hull and, in particular, the propeller sig-
nificantly 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 instruc-
tions 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 compound, which is avail-
able from your Terhi dealer. Instructions for use of the
Terhi – Owner's manual
compound are provided in the packet. Instructions
for repair can also be found at TerhiTec Oy's website
(www.terhi.fi).
NOTE! If incorrectly done, retro-fitting and modifica-
tion work can cause damage to the structure of the
boat or endanger safety. Contact the manufacturer or
dealer before commencing any significant modification
work, such as drainings or larger surface fastenings.
NOTE! Always check the condition of your boat im-
mediately 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 inner or outer shell can dam-
age the structure of the boat.
