AFTER EACH JOURNEY
After each journey, the following steps should be performed:
•
Ensure the
Battery Isolator
switch(es) are turned to the ‘Off’ position
Battery Isolator
Switch ‘Off’
•
Run fresh water through the outboard motor. Consult the outboard manual for more
detail.
•
Open all seacock valves and drainage bungs to drain any water from the boat.
•
Wash down the boat with fresh water, taking care to remove all salt, sand and debris. Do
not clean the boat with solvents or any other chemicals. Solvents or petrol can damage
inflatable tube material, or other components of the boat. Any accidental spills must be
removed immediately with soapy water. Close all seacock valves and drainage bungs once
all residual water has finished draining.
•
Boat should be allowed to dry after washing and before storage. Lifting cushions and
squabs to allow airflow across all painted surfaces.
Leaving and Securing the Boat
Removing the
Outboard Ignition Key
will help secure the boat; the inboard motor will be unable
to start. Ensure the
Battery Isolator
is ‘Off’ when leaving the boat.
If the boat is fitted with an extendable windscreen and the windscreen has been raised during
the trip, it may be lowered to reduce the boat height if required for storing in a shed or garage.
If the boat is going to be unused or stored, ensure the boat is fully clean, drained of water, dried
and stored out of the water:
•
It is recommended that the hatches be opened and the seat squabs (if fitted) be
removed to assist air flow.
•
It is highly recommended that the boat be stored under a permanent covering such
as a boat shed or garage, which shall provide full protection from sun, UV, rain, snow,
and sand and/or salt spray.
