• Remove all oxidation from the exterior hardware, and apply a light film of moisture-displacing
lubricant.
• Remove the propellers and grease the propeller shafts using light waterproof grease.
• Remove the batteries and store in a cool place. Clean using clear, clean water. Be sure the
batteries have sufficient water and clean terminals. Keep the batteries charged and safe from
freezing throughout the storage period.
• Refer to Chapter 4, Electrical System, for information on the maintenance of the electrical
systems.
• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical components in the cockpit with a protecting oil.
• Clean out, totally drain and completely dry the fishboxes, sinks and livewells.
• 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.
• Thoroughly clean the interior of the boat. Vacuum all carpets and dry clean drapes and
upholstery.
• Remove as many cushions and open 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.

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 water heater and freshwater tank are
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 outlet hose 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, lines and water heater, 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 hot and cold 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 shower and 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
