If the boat is to be stored outdoors, a proper cover is necessary
to protect the boat from the elements. Construct a frame over
the top of the boat to support a canvas or plastic cover. The
frame should be built so as to be slightly wider than the outside
of the boat. The cover should be fastened securely, as a loose
flapping cover for an extended period of time will damage the
gelcoat surface.
6 . 1 . FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel tanks should be filled to near capacity before storage
in order to minimize fuel deterioration. The addition of an
appropriate fuel conditioner will also prolong the fuel life. Fuel
remaining in the fuel systems of the engines and generator
should be treated per the engine or generator manufacturers
recommendations.
