BOATS
Seasonal Maintenance
Proper storage is very important to prevent serious
damage to the boat. If the boat is to be stored
indoors, make sure the building has enough ven-
tilation. It is very important that there is enough
ventilation both inside the boat and around the
boat.
Notice:
If the boat is to be stored indoors or out-
doors, open all drawers, clothes lockers, cab-
inets, and doors a little. If possible, remove
the upholstery, mattresses, clothing, and
carpets. Then hang a commercially available
mildew protector in the cabin.
14.3 Recommissioning
WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP
ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.
Notice:
It is important and recommended that the
fitting out procedure for the marine gear be
done by a qualified marine technician. Read
the engine owner’s manual for the recom-
mended procedure.
WARNING
IF YOUR BOAT IS EQUIPPED WITH A GENERATOR MAKE
SURE THE MUFFLER HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED DURING
WINTER STORAGE AND THAT THE DRAIN PLUGS ARE
INSTALLED AND PROPERLY TIGHTENED. LOOSE OR
MISSING DRAIN PLUGS AND DAMAGED OR LEAKING
MUFFLERS OR EXHAUST HOSES WILL ALLOW CARBON
MONOXIDE, ENGINE GASES, AND WATER INTO THE BILGE
CREATING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
Notice:
Not all generator mufflers are equipped with
drain plugs.
Reactivating The Boat After Storage:
• If your boat is bottom painted, apply a fresh
coat of bottom paint to the hull and outdrive
•
Inspect outdrives and thru-hull fittings.
• Install the propellers. Refer to the outdrive
owner’s manual for information on installing
propellers.
• Install the drain plug in the hull.
• Charge and install the batteries.
• Check the engines for damage and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for recommis-
sioning.
• Check the engine mounting bolts to make sure
they are tight.
• Perform all routine maintenance.
• Check all hose clamps for tightness.
• Pump the antifreeze from the fresh and raw
water systems and flush several times with
fresh water. Make sure all antifreeze is flushed
from the water heater and it is filled with fresh
water before it is activated.
• Check and lubricate the steering system.
• Clean and wash the boat.
• Install all upholstery, cushions and canvas.
• Check the fluid levels in the engine and
outdrive.
After Launching:
• Carefully check the engines and all water sys-
tems for leaks. Operate each system one at a
time checking for leaks and proper operation.
• Check the bilge pump automatic and manual
switches.
• Prime the fuel system and start each engine.
• Carefully monitor the gauges and check for
leakage and abnormal noises. Monitor the
temperature gauges closely until they stabilize
at normal operating temperature to ensure
that the cooling pumps are operating properly.
• Operate the boat at slow speeds until the en-
gine temperature stabilizes and all systems
are operating normally.
Generator Commissioning:
• Start the generator and monitor the exhaust
port for a steady stream of water. It may take
20 or 30 seconds for the muffler to fill and
for water to appear at the port. This ensures
that the cooling pump is operating. Carefully
inspect the generator and all hoses for leaks,
paying particular attention to the muffler and
exhaust hoses. Any leak, no matter how minor
must be corrected immediately.
