Drain Plug:
Always remove the drain plug from the boat when storing it for long periods of time. This
will ensure that any water that has collected in the bilge will drain. When storing the boat
the bow should be slightly higher than the stern, this will help excess bilge water to drain
fully. Inspect the drain plug when re installing it and replace it if necessary.
Fresh Water System:
Drain fresh water and grey water holding tanks. Once tanks have been drained, add RV
anti-freeze and ensure that it is circulate throughout complete water system. Ensure that
all fresh water has been flushed from all faucets and pumps and that antifreeze is present
in all of the water lines.
Ensure that hot water system is drained, flushed and winterized with R.V. anti-freeze.
Trailer:
We recommend that your trailer be winterized by an authorized Kingfisher dealer or by a
qualified technician. The trailer frame should be washed and internally flushed if used in
salt water.
Wheel bearings and breaking system can be permanently damaged if not
properly winterized and free of all water.
