HEAD
Follow manufacturer's directions closely. Remove any water to prevent
from freezing. The holding tank should be empty when the yacht is laid
up for the winter. If possible, flush the tank with a mixture of non-
toxic antifreeze and water prior to hauling.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Remove batteries from boat and store in a warm dry location off a cement
or stone floor. They should be completely charged before storing or
left on a trickle charge.
The rest of your electrical system requires little maintenance. If you
wish, each bulb can be removed and the light fixtures given a spray of
water dispersant such as "WD-40," "CRC," or similar products. The main
switch and fuse panel can also be treated this way to minimize
corrosion.
SCUPPERS AND SEACOCKS
Open and drain all seacocks once the hull has been set in place. The
barrel itself may be removed, inspected, re-lubricated, and assembled at
this time. Seacocks should be left closed while out of water during
winter storage except cockpit scupper seacocks which must be left open.
ICE BOX
Remove all food from the ice box and wash out thoroughly with warm water
and detergent. Rinse well. Remaining odors, if any, may be eliminated
with baking soda and water. All water will drain to bilge area and help
eliminate odors there also. Leave ice box top open for ventilation.
Store an open box of baking soda in the ice box during winter lay up.
BILGE
Pump the entire bilge dry and clean out any debris. Drain the bilge
hoses and pump(s) to prevent freeze-up.
STOVE
Clean stove thoroughly including burners. Release pressure in fuel tank
and leave tank empty.
COVERING
It is far better to store a boat under cover than to leave it open to
the elements. The teak trim will fare far better during the winter and
the boat will not be subject to the pressure of freezing water, a common
cause of gelcoat stress cracks. If your boat cover is durable, open a
couple of ports to allow air to circulate below decks.
