INTERIOR
As part of the winterization of the yacht, there are a variety of items checked and completed to the yacht’s interior prior to storage .
Marquis has created a check list as follows:
Air out cushions until completely dry . Storing damp cushions leads to mildew . •
Position the cushions to allow air to circulate around them . •
Purchase and position moisture accumulators throughout the yacht . The moisture accumulators help reduce the amount of •
moisture that accumulates during storage .
Remove item that could spoil or freeze while the yacht is stored .
•
Remove all dried food . Food attracts mice and insects . •
STORAGE
Marquis recommends storing the yacht in dry storage to maximize protection .
DRY STORAGE
Protecting the yacht from the elements during winter storage is advised . Have a local marina shrink wrap the yacht, or have a winter
storage cover made . Occasionally check on the yacht while in storage to make sure that it is in good condition .
OUTSIDE STORAGE
Properly support a storage cover and secure the cover over the yacht . Do not secure the cover too tightly . Allow adequate ventilation
to protect against dry rot . Do not store the yacht in a damp storage enclosure . Purchase and position moisture accumulators between
the shrink-wrap and the yacht’s enclosures to help prevent moisture from accumulating . Excessive dampness can lead to mildew,
electrical problems, corrosion and dry rot .
NOTE: If the Hull drain plug is removed for storage make sure to install plug prior to launch .
WET STORAGE
Wet storage procedures vary from region to region . Consult your Marquis Dealer before preparing to leave the yacht in the water over
the winter .
