STORING & WINTERIZING YOUR BOAT

8-4

53 COUPE

To protect the shower sump box from freezing:

1.  Pour potable water antifreeze into the shower drain.
2.  Monitor the shower sump discharge thru-hull on the hullside amidships.
3.  When the antifreeze is forced out of the thru hull via the shower sump,

repeat the procedure in the second shower until the antifreeze is again

forced out of the thru hull.

8.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

8.4.1 DC System

The only major component of your DC system that needs preparation for winter

storage are the batteries.

To prepare the batteries for storage:

1. Make sure the batteries are fully charged.
2. Press OFF the PORT BATTERY, HOUSE BATTERY, and STBD BATTERY

buttons on the Power Control Panel in the galley peninsula cabinet.

3. Disconnect the batteries.
4. Clean the battery terminals. Apply a coat of petroleum jelly to the termi-

nals, or spray liberally with Boeshield

T9.

Make sure that all battery electrolyte cells are filled to specification. See

chapter 7 for battery maintenance.

6. Leave the batteries disconnected during storage. If left connected they

should be recharged periodically to prevent discharge over time, which

can damage the batteries.

Refer to the battery user guide for additional winterizing instructions. Review

the user guides provided with all installed electronics; if low temperatures might

damage them, remove and store in a clean, dry area that will protect them from

low temperatures.

8.4.2 AC System

With the exception of the generator, the AC electrical system does not require any

winterizing. Refer to section 8.9 for generator winterization information.
