The following items require special attention for winterization . Your ATX boat

winterization procedures for the following:
•
Engine cooling and exhaust systems
• Fuel system
•
Batteries
• Drain Ballast System
•
Drain shower
Storage Preparation
While the boat is still in the water:
1.
Fill fuel tank and add the proper amount of fuel stabilizer and conditioner
according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendations .
2.
Operate boat for at least 15 minutes to be sure the treated fuel has
reached the engine .
NOTICE
If the boat is to be stored for more than five months, stored in a high-mois-
ture (humidity) environment, in temperature extremes or outdoors, “fog” the
engine with a rust preventive fogging oil according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations . See your ATX Dealer .
When the boat is removed from the water:
NOTICE
Remove the bilge drain plug immediately after taking the boat out of the
water . After washing, raise the bow of the boat high to allow as much water
as possible to drain while performing other storage preparations .
• Flush the engine cooling system with clean fresh water . DO NOT exceed
1500 RPM when flushing .
• Drain the ballast tank system
IMPORTANT
It is extremely important to drain ballast system during freezing temperatures
and during long periods of non-use . Protect our natural resources by using
environmentally friendly products and always discard in an environmentally
friendly manner .
1. Drain the system completely after your boat is out of the water and keep the
intake/drain valves open .
2. Use a 50/50 mixture of an environmentally friendly antifreeze and
fresh water .
3. Pour an even amount, approximately 1 gallon (3 .8 liters) of the antifreeze
mixture into each tank’s vent .
4. Make sure you catch any spilled mixture by placing a container under the
intake/drain of the tank you are winterizing .
5. Operate the pump in the drain mode for two seconds; then shut off .
Repeat procedure for other tank(s) .
6. Close the water intake/drain valves in the ballast tank(s) . When returning
your boat back to service, make sure to drain the remainder of the mixture
before getting onto the water .
7.
Thoroughly wash the interior, interior compartments, deck and hull as
soon as your boat is removed from the water . Cleaning the hull at this time is
easier because the marine growth is still wet . Allow a couple of days of air
drying before covering the boat . Store all cushions in the open position and
open all storage areas to help prevent mold/mildew .
8. Apply a coat of wax to the entire surface of the boat and rust inhibitor on
all metal parts .
9. Clean all traces of dirt, oil, grime and grease from the engine and bilge .
Touch up areas of engine where paint has been removed .
