DENALI 28
Air Conditioner
Disconnect and drain the air conditioner intake and discharge hoses. Remove all water from the
sea strainer and thru hull fitting. Allow all water to drain from the system. The air conditioner
components must be properly winterized by following winterizing procedure in the air conditioner
owner’s manual.
Hard Top and Radar Arch
It is imperative that all drain holes in the legs are open and completely free of water. Remove the
canvas and thoroughly clean and store in a safe, dry place. Remove all electronics. Coat all wire
connectors and bus bars in the helm compartment with a protecting oil.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE LEG DRAIN HOLES ARE CLEAR WHEN THE BOAT IS LAID
UP FOR THE WINTER. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE HARDTOP OR RADAR ARCH
LEGS COULD FREEZE AND CAUSE THE LEGS TO SPLIT.
Special Notes Prior To Winter Storage
If the boat will be in outside storage, properly support a storage cover and secure it over the boat.
It is best to have a frame built over the boat to support the canvas. It should be a few inches wider
than the boat so the canvas will clear the rails and allow passage of air. If this cover is fastened too
tightly there will be inadequate ventilation and this can lead to mildew, moisture accumulation, etc.
It is essential to fasten the canvas down securely so that the winds cannot remove it or cause chafing
of the hull superstructure. Do not store the boat in a damp storage enclosure. Excessive dampness
can cause electrical problems, corrosion, and excessive mildew.
Whenever possible, do not use the bimini top or convertible top canvas in place of the winter storage
cover. The life of these canvases may be significantly shortened if exposed to harsh weather
elements for long periods.
PLACING AN ELECTRIC OR FUEL BURNING HEATING UNIT IN THE BOAT CAN BE PO-
TENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
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 ventilation. It is very important that there is enough
ventilation both inside the boat and around the boat.
