EXTENDED STORAGE
This section will help you prepare your craft for extended storage. For areas that do
not require seasonal storage, CROWNLINE Boats, Inc. recommends a thorough
annual inspection.
IMPORTANT:
In regions where temperatures fall below freezing, all engine plugs
must be removed and all water systems must be drained before
storing your CROWNLINE for the winter. Failure to take these
measures will seriously damage the engine and water systems.
Preparing for winter lay-up is important. In frigid zones, pay special attention to any
items that can be damaged by freezing. Freeze damage is not covered by warranty.
The following items may require special attention for extended or off-season storage.
Some of the items may not be included in your CROWNLINE. Have your
CROWNLINE dealer perform extended or off-season procedures for the following:
• Air
conditioning
• Batteries
•
Engine cooling and exhaust systems
• Fuel
system
• Generator
• Water
