8.3 Winterization
Your boat must be properly winterized before storage. Failure to winter-

The following paragraphs explain how to winterize the systems that
require it.

8.3.2 Generator
Refer to the OEM information for details on winterizing the generator.

tioning system. Carver recommends that you have a qualified marina
winterize your air conditioning system for you.
8.3.4 Fresh Water System
When winterizing your boat’s fresh water system, drain the entire system
including the water heater.
Refer to 4.2 Fresh Water System for a diagram of your boat’s fresh
water system, including optional equipment.
