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.
