i WC, Sea cocks & Holding Tanks - These need to
be pumped dry to reduce the risk of freezing and
cracking of the various parts. Toilet conditioner,
which lubricates, cleans and deodorises your toilet
is available If you intend to leave your boat afloat,
you should firstly close the inlet seacock, pump the
toilet dry and then close the outlet seacock. If you
are removing your boat from the water, leave sea
cocks open and pump the toilet dry, to allow any
remaining water in the system to drain away. When
draining the toilet, check for leaks and the condition
of hoses and their clamps. Sea cocks should be
checked for corrosion and leaks and lubricated
internally. Holding tanks (if fitted) should be emptied
and then flushed through with a suitable sanitary
fluid. A check should also be made on all hose
connections.
j Accommodation - Special attention should be
made of the fridges and galley. Fridges should be
thoroughly cleaned and their doors propped open.
The galley should be thoroughly cleaned,
especially in areas where food has been stored or
prepared. Bedding and curtains can be left but
make sure that the boat is well ventilated to prevent
mould forming. The bilge should be checked and if
it needs cleaning, wiped over with one of the bilge
cleaners that are available to prevent unwanted
odours.
k Bilge Pumps - The bilge pump strainers fitted to
the base of the pump should be checked, as it is
possible over a period of time for them to become
blocked. This can stop the pump from operating
See manufacturer's instructions.
l Anchor Locker & Windlass - Remove all the
chain from the anchor locker and thoroughly wash
off checking for corrosion and wear, the depth
marking can also be checked to see that they are
all intact. Give the anchor locker a good clean out
removing all the salt from the season's use.
Windlasses are virtually maintenance free, only
greasing of mechanical parts is necessary.
Electric windlasses do require a little more
maintenance. All solenoid connections and deck
switches should be checked for tightness and
cable supports should be checked to prevent
them from becoming tangled with the chain.
Finally all electrical connections should be
sprayed with moisture repellent spray.
m Antifoul - Antifouling the hull is one of the less
popular aspects of motor cruising. Luckily antifoul
works very well these days. There are various
types available; Sealine favour the soluble
antifoul. This type erodes at a controlled rate
taking fouling with it. Annual antifouling is
unfortunately unavoidable and will have to be
carried out at the beginning of each season.
When choosing antifoul for maximum protection
you should take into consideration your mooring
area and decide which level of protection you
require. Antifoul can be hazardous, when using
follow manufacturers instructions.
DO NOT ANTIFOUL:
ವ
Over anodes, as this will render them
ineffective as galvanic corrosion inhibitors.
ವ
Drain holes.
ವ
Speed sensing paddle wheel.
