7.4 Maintaining the cover

New covers may leak initially, as the seams need to swell.

During use

To prevent quick deterioration of the cover, secure it tightly in a folded-up position to prevent flapping.

After use
  • Hang to dry. Never use a drying cabinet or iron to speed up drying.

  • Check that the cover is completely dry before stowing. Stowing a moist cover can cause mold damage.

  • Store the cover in dry indoor conditions for the winter.

  • The cover must not be stored in the boat.
