NOTE:
Be sure all sails, boom cover, sail sock, etc. are dry before folding carefully and storing at home.
During the winter sails should be taken out and refolded, avoiding previous creases.
3.
Lubricate or cover all exposed mechanical fittings to guard against ice and snow.
4.
Oil all floorboards, drop boards, woodwork and paneling. This will prevent wood from drying out
in severe winter conditions.
5.
Remove screens from opening-ports-~and replace with gaskets supplied.
6.
Remove transducers and replace the plugs. (This should be done prior to haul-out, especially the
knot meter transducer.)
7.
Remove all instruments and store at home, if desired, or check all electrical and mechanical
components on boat and remove or replace those needing repair during the winter.
8.
Engines with freshwater cooling will only need to have the raw water cooling side of the engine
winterized.
9.
Open all drain valves as shown on diagram No. 21
10.
Drain raw water strainer through drain plug in bottom, then remove raw water strainer, located
on starboard side of engine compartment and clean screen and interior of strainer. NOTE:
11.
To assist in priming the raw water pump when commissioning in the spring, close raw water
seacock, fill strainer and hoses through top and close-up. On starting engine, open seacock.
12.
Alternate Procedure: Remove the raw water inlet hose from the seacock and place this hose
into a gallon container of 50-50 antifreeze. Start engine and run until the antifreeze comes out
the exhaust outlet. Stop engine and replace the inlet hose on the seacock and tighten the hose
clamps. Antifreeze is now throughout the raw water-cooling system, including the muffler. But
remove raw water pump impeller, rinse in freshwater, and lubricate with Teflon grease. Do not
reinstall impeller until commissioning.
13.
Put a wooden plug in the exhaust discharge or plug with an oil-soaked rag to eliminate
condensation. - (Ensure removal at spring fit-out.)

Head and Holding Tank
1.
General: The plumbing systems layout is shown in diagrams No. 19, 20 & 22The pump-out deck
plate is in the anchor well bottom and the vent on the stem head. It is good practice to flush out
the tank with freshwater at every pump out.
2.
Pump holding tank dry, flush thoroughly and pump dry again. When flushing out, a deodorizing
cleaner should be added before pumping out.
3.
When tank has been pumped dry add 2-4 quarts of ethylene glycol antifreeze to the toilet and
pump through the system and into the tank.
4.
The head is either a Wilcox-Crittenden Head-Mate or a Mansfield Model 751 marine toilet. For
best protection and trouble-free-operation in the next season remove the parts of the head as
per manufacturer's instructions and clean all valves in the head.
