electronics. Coat all wire connectors and bus bars in the helm
compartment with a protecting oil. Cover the tower basket
with a tarp and secure it properly.
Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water and dry
thoroughly. Apply an aluminum metal protector to the entire
frame to reduce corrosion and pitting. Apply an automotive
or boat wax to powder coated aluminum to protect it during
storage periods.
Special Notes Prior To Winter Storage
If the boat will be in outside storage, properly support a storage
cover and secure it over the boat. It is best to have a frame built
over the boat to support the canvas. It should be a few inches
wider than the boat so the canvas will clear the rails and allow
passage of air. If this cover is fastened too tightly there will
be inadequate ventilation and this can lead to mildew, moisture
accumulation, etc. It is essential to fasten the canvas down
securely so that the wind cannot remove it or cause chafing of
the hull superstructure. Do not store the boat in a damp storage
enclosure. Excessive dampness can cause electrical problems,
corrosion, and excessive mildew.
Whenever possible, do not use the enclosure curtains in place
of the winter storage cover. The life of these curtains may be
significantly shortened if exposed to harsh weather elements
for long periods.
PLACING AN ELECTRIC OR FUEL BURNING
HEATING UNIT IN THE BILGE AREA CAN BE
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
Proper storage is very important to prevent serious damage to
the boat. If the boat is to be stored indoors, make sure the build-
ing has enough ventilation. It is very important that there is
enough ventilation both inside the boat and around the boat.
Note: If the boat is to be stored indoors or outdoors, open
all drawers, clothes lockers, cabinets, and doors
a little. If possible, remove the upholstery, mat-
tresses, clothing, and rugs. Then hang a commer-
cially available mildew protector in the cabin.
14.3 Recommissioning
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS
COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS
TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO
SPECIFICATIONS.
Note: It is important and recommended that the fitting
out procedure for the marine gear be done by a
qualified marine technician. Read the engine own-
er’s manual for the recommended procedure.
BEFORE LAUNCHING THE BOAT, MAKE SURE THE
HULL DRAIN PLUG IS INSTALLED.
MAKE SURE THE MUFFLERS HAVE NOT BEEN
DAMAGED DURING WINTER STORAGE AND
THAT THE DRAIN PLUGS ARE INSTALLED AND
PROPERLY TIGHTENED. LOOSE OR MISSING
DRAIN PLUGS AND DAMAGED OR LEAKING
MUFFLERS OR EXHAUST HOSES WILL ALLOW
CARBON MONOXIDE, ENGINE GASES, AND WATER
INTO THE BILGE CREATING A POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
Note: Not all mufflers are equipped with drain plugs.
Reactivating The Boat After Storage:
• Apply a fresh coat of bottom paint on the hull and running
gear.
• Inspect running gear and thru-hull fittings.
• Install the propellers. Refer to the Propulsion System
chapter for information on installing propellers.
• Install the drain plug in the hull.
• Charge and install the batteries.
• Check the engines for damage and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for recommissioning.
• Check the engine mounting bolts to make sure they are
tight.
