* To keep mildew from forming, remove all items that will
hold moisture ( PFD’s, towels, blankets, clothing, canvas,
etc.).
* Make sure all garbage is removed.
* Scrub the inside of the boat. Clean cabinets, drawers,
and cupboards. Allow cabin area to dry and air for at
least one day if possible.
* Stand or prop up mattresses and cushions remaining
on board to allow good air circulation around them. Hang
life preserver and other equipment to prevent mildew.
* Remove any detachable and valuable equipment and
electronics.
** Prepare Exterior of Boat for Storage:
* Sand the hull bottom and apply at least one coat of
anti-fouling paint.
Note: This coat of paint must be applied during winterization or
before the beginning of a new boating season. Check with your
dealer for information about the paint you should use.
* Apply a coat of wax to the entire boat. Put rust inhibitor
on all metal parts.
* Cover the boat with a tarpaulin or mooring cover. If the
boat is stored outside, you may need to place supports
under the cover to shore up pockets where rain or snow
can collect.
14.6.3 Draining Your Boat
Your boat has bilge pumps for draining water from the
bilges. Some compartments in the bilge may not drain
completely because of the position of the boat. Pump
these compartments out then use a sponge to remove all
remaining water.
Procedures for draining and winterizing the fresh water
system are in this section under the “Preparing for
Storage” heading.
14.6.4 Supporting Your Boat During Storage
A cradle is the ideal support for your boat whenever
it is not in the water. Properly designed and located,
the cradle will support the boat under the main frames.
Support at these points is essential for preventing dam-
age to the hull.
If a cradle is not available, the boat may be supported on
two or three timbers across a boat well or on another firm
footing substantial enough to keep the boat level. The
timbers and the foundation must be substantial enough
to prevent any change in shape while supporting the
boat during storage. The weight carried by the supports
should be evenly divided, the keel should carry a share
of it.
Store the boat with the bow up so any accumulation of
moisture will run off.
14.7 Fitting out after Storage
If the hull was not painted during winterizing, sand and
pain the hull bottom before removing the boat from its
cradle.
Before launching your boat, do not load unneeded equip-
ment, furniture, and personal items until the launch and
final checkout are complete.
14.7.1 Pre-Launch Checkout
** Before placing your boat in the water, check and per-
form the following:
* Check all anchor lines and gear and replace, if neces-
sary.
* Check all through hull fittings to make sure they are
clean. Make sure all drain plugs are installed. Check
all strut and through hull hardware for damage and tight-
ness. Repair or adjust as needed.
* Check propellers and propeller shafts for proper instal-
lation and tightness. Clean propeller and shafts. Check
shaft play in strut bearing. Replace bearing if play is
excessive.
* Check shaft alignment. Refer to the engine owner’s
manual or check with your boat dealer for details.
* Clean battery terminal posts and cable terminals with
a wire brush or bronze wool. Install batteries and attach
cables. After cable posts are tightened down, coat posts
with oil or Vaseline to keep out air and acid. Check all
wiring connections and contacts for corrosion and tight-
ness.
* Check all seacocks for easy operation. Check the
