freezing throughout the storage period.
Note: Refer to the Electrical System chapter, for information on the maintenance of the
AC and DC electrical systems.
• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical components in the cabin and cockpit with a protecting
oil.
• Clean out, totally drain and completely dry the fishboxes, sinks and livewells.
• Thoroughly clean the interior of the boat. Vacuum all carpets and dry clean drapes and
upholstery.
• Remove cushions, open the refrigerator/cooler door and as many locker doors as possible.
Leaving as many of these areas open as possible will improve the boat’s ventilation during
the storage period.
Note: It is recommended that a mildew preventive be hung in the boat’s cabin before it is
closed for storage.
• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good vinyl cleaner and dry thoroughly. Spray the
weather covers and boat upholstery with a spray disinfectant. Enclosed areas such as the
refrigerator, shower basin, storage locker areas, etc. should also be sprayed with this
disinfectant.
14.2 Winterizing
Freshwater System
The entire freshwater system must be completely drained. Disconnect all hoses, check valves,
etc. and blow all the water from the system. Make sure the freshwater tank is completely drained.
Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage. Because of
the check valve mechanism built in the pump, blowing the lines will not remove the water from
the freshwater pump. Remove the inlet and outlet hoses on the pump. Turn the pump on and
allow it to pump out any remaining water....about a cupful. A recommended alternative to the
above-mentioned procedure is the use of commercially available non toxic, freshwater system
antifreeze. After draining the potable water tank and lines, pour the antifreeze mixture into the
freshwater tank, prime and operate the pump until the mixture flows from all freshwater faucets.
Be sure to open all water faucets, including the freshwater spray head in the stern bait station sink.
Make sure antifreeze has flowed through all of the freshwater drains.
The cabin drain sump system must be properly winterized. Clean debris from the drain and sump
and flush for several minutes with fresh clean water. After the system is clean, pump the drain
sump as dry as possible. Then pour a potable water antifreeze mixture into the shower drain until
antifreeze has been pumped through the entire system and out of the thru hull.
