marked with small labels on each side of the
boat under the rubrails. Tie fore and aft slings
together to prevent slings from sliding on the
hull.
Elevating lifts are commonly used to store
boats for extended periods. To provide
proper support, the bunks that support the
hull should be aligned with and run parallel to
the hull stringers. The bow and stern eyes, if
equipped, should not be used as sole support
for storage.
Your boat can be damaged from improper
lifting and rough handling when being trans-
ported by lift trucks. Care and proper han-
dling procedures must be used when using a
lift truck to move your boat. DO NOT attempt
to lift the boat with a substantial amount of
water in the bilge.
CAUTION
!
Failure to follow the proper lifting pro-
cedures while lifting your boat may
result in structural damage to the hull
and deck or underwater gear.
Severe gelcoat cracking or more serious hull
damage can occur during hauling and launch-
ing if pressure is created on the gunwales
(sheer) by the slings. Use flat, wide slings
and spreaders long enough to keep pressure
from the gunwales. DO NOT allow your boat
to be hauled when the spreaders on the lift
are not wide enough to take the pressure off
the gunwales.
To prepare the boat for storage:
•
Remove the bilge drain plug(s), if in
-
stalled.
•
Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior,
especially the antifouling portion of the
bottom. Remove as much marine growth
as possible. Lightly wax the exterior
fiberglass components.
•
Remove all oxidation from the exterior
hardware and apply a light film of mois
-
ture-displacing lubricant.
•
Remove propellers and grease the
propeller shafts using light waterproof
grease.
•
Remove batteries and clean using clear,
clean water. Make sure batteries have
sufficient water and terminals are clean.
Keep the batteries charged and stored
in a cool, dry place and safe from freez-
ing. See section 4, Electrical Systems,
and the battery owner’s manual for more
information.
•
Follow the AC and DC electrical systems
maintenance instructions in section 4,
Electrical Systems.
• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical
components in the cabin and cockpit
with a protecting oil.
•
Thoroughly clean the interior of the boat;
vacuum all carpets and dry-clean uphol-
stery.
•
Remove cushions
• Open the refrigerator/cooler door and as
many locker doors as possible. Leaving
as many of these areas open as pos-
sible will improve fresh air ventilation
during the storage period.
• Place a mildew preventive system in the
cabin area before it is closed for storage.
• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good
vinyl cleaner, and dry thoroughly. Spray
the weather covers and boat upholstery
with a spray disinfectant. Enclosed
areas such as the refrigerator, shower
basin, storage locker areas, etc., should
also be sprayed with a disinfectant.
Supporting the Boat for Storage
A trailer, elevating lift, or well-made cradle is
the best support for your boat during storage.
When storing the boat on a trailer for a long
period:
• Make sure the rollers and pads support
the hull of the boat and the trailer is on a
level surface with the bow high enough
so water will drain from the bilge and
cockpit. The trailer must properly support
the hull. The bunks and rollers should
match the bottom of the hull and should
not put pressure on the lifting strakes.
