SEASONAL MAINTENANCE
14.1 Lay-up and Storage
Before Hauling:
• Pump out the head and holding tank. Flush the holding
tank using clean water and a deodorizer. Pump out the
cleaning solution.
• The fuel tank should be left nearly full to reduce
condensation that can accumulate in the fuel tank. Allow
enough room in the tank for the fuel to expand without
leaking out the vents.
Algae can grow in the accumulated water in diesel fuel
tanks. This condition is most prevalent in warm climates.
Adding a high quality diesel fuel additive containing an
algaecide may be required to control algae during storage
in your area.
• The age of fuel can affect engine performance. Chemical
changes occur as the fuel ages that can cause deposits and
reduce the octane or cetane rating of the fuel. Severely
degraded fuel can damage the engines and boat fuel
tank and lines. Therefore, if your boat is not being run
enough to require at least one full tank of fresh fuel a
month, a fuel additive should be added to protect it from
degradation. Your dealer or the engine manufacturer can
provide additional information on fuel degradation and
fuel stabilizers recommended for your engines. Operate
the boat for at least 15 minutes after adding the additive
to allow the treated fuel to reach the engine.
• Gasoline fuel stabilizers and diesel fuel additives
containing an algecide are particularly important during
periods of lay-up and storage. For more recommendations
for your specific area, check with your dealer.
• Drain water from the fresh water system.
• Consult the engine owner’s manual for detailed
information on preparing the engines for storage.
Lifting
It is essential that care be used when lifting your boat. Make
sure the spreader bar at each sling is at least as long as the
distance across the widest point of the boat that the sling
will surround. Put the slings in position. Refer to the Slings
Locations picture below for the correct position of the lifting
slings. There are also sling tags on the side deck. The fore
and aft slings should be tied together to prevent the slings
from sliding on the hull.
The bow should always be slightly higher than the stern while
lifting the boat. This will allow the water to drain from the
engine exhaust system and prevent water from surging over
the risers and into the engine.
