CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE-7
Battery Storage
The procedure for battery winterization and storage
is as follows:
Turn battery switch to OFF.
Remove engine batteries and generator battery
(if so equipped) from their respective compartments
(See
Mechanical Layout
in the Schematics Section
of this Owner’s Manual, which illustrates the location
of the engine and generator batteries).
Place batteries on a wooden pallet or bench and
store in an area where temperatures remain above
freezing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
store batteries on a concrete
surface, such as a garage
fl
oor, as they will tend to
discharge.
Keep batteries fully charged during storage. Peri-
odic charging (once a month) with a battery charger
set on a low amperage charge is recommended.
Check the battery electrolyte levels regularly. Add
electrolyte, if needed.
Refer to the battery literature included with your
Owner’s Packet for additional information con-
cerning the care and storage of your batteries.
Interior Preparation
The procedure for preparing the interior of your
yacht for winter storage is as follows:
Remove all items that will hold moisture (towels,
PFD’s, blankets, clothing, canvas, etc.) from the
interior of the yacht to prevent mold and mildew
formation.
Remove all electronic equipment and items of
value that are detachable.
Remove all garbage and trash.
Thoroughly clean the interior of your yacht. Clean
all cabinets, drawers and cupboards. Allow the cabin
area to air dry for at least one day, if possible.
Stand or prop up all mattresses and cushions that
are to remain on board during storage to allow air
circulation around them.
Place
Mildew Pacs
in various locations within the
interior of your yacht to help prevent mold and mildew
formation during storage (Refer to the manufacturer’s
recommendation for the quantity and location re-
quired).
Lifting Your Yacht
The following are guidelines that will help prevent
damage to your yacht as it is being lifted:
Never lift the yacht with a greater than normal ac-
cumulation of water in the bilge. All tanks containing
fresh water should be empty.
Place lifting slings where indicated by the sling tab
labels on the gunwales (See
Thru-hull Locations
Layout-Port and Starboard
in the Schematics
Section of this Owner’s Manual, which illustrates
the location of the sling tab locations). Avoid placing
slings where they may lift the propeller shaft or other
underwater
fi
ttings. Padding, placed under the slings
at the chine corners, will help to keep pressure to a
minimum at this location.
Disconnect the propeller shafts at the transmis-
sions to prevent damage to the transmissions and
shafts.
Use wide,
fl
at, lifting slings made of belting and
spreader bars long enough to keep pressure off of
the gunwales.
DO NOT use slings made of cable. Pressure
caused by the slings on the gunwales can cause
severe gelcoat crazing or more serious hull dam-
age. The spreader bar at each lifting sling should
be at least as long as the distance across the
widest point the sling surrounds.
