10. Storage
It is extremely important to clean the boat and maintain it before long (winter) storage.
Without doing this, you will significantly increase the cost of maintenance before the
next launching, because the combination of salt, moisture and dirt significantly worsens
the condition of most components of your boat.
Thoroughly wash the electric boat. Clean the containers for things and batteries as
well.
Clean the filtration sewage box which is under a demountable cover of the middle
niche.
Maintain the automatic pump through the inspection hatch which is behind the hatch
of the panel installed under a demountable cover of the middle niche. Clean the pump
suction strainer.
Disconnect and remove the batteries, charge them and store in a dry, well-ventilated
warm place.
Apply silicone grease to the mechanisms of the steering gear and the joystick.
Leave the hatches open for ventilation. During storage it is recommended to place the
boat bow slightly raised; drain plug should be open.
In winter, do not leave the boat in the freezing cold: it can damage the electrical
components and motors.
