Hiring a professional to perform the winterization of the
yacht is recommended. Storing the yacht in dry, out-of-
water storage is also recommended. Some winterizing
procedures can be performed only when the yacht is out
of the water. Dry storage also provides the opportunity to
thoroughly inspect the hull and underwater components
for maintenance needs.
DRY STORAGE
Protect the yacht from the elements during winter
storage. Have a local marina shrink-wrap the yacht, or
have a winter storage cover made. Occasionally check
on the yacht while in storage to make sure that it is in
good condition.
OUTSIDE STORAGE
OTEE: N
If the hull drain plug is removed for storage,
make sure to install the plug prior to
launch.
Properly support a storage cover and secure the cover
over the yacht. Never secure the cover too tightly. Allow
adequate ventilation to protect against dry rot. Never
store the yacht in a damp storage enclosure. Purchase
and position moisture accumulators between the shrink-
wrap and the yacht’s enclosures to help prevent moisture
from accumulating. Excessive dampness can lead to
mildew, electrical problems, corrosion and dry rot.
WET STORAGE
Wet storage procedures vary from region to region.
Consult your dealer before preparing to leave the yacht in
the water over the winter.
INTERIOR CARE
As part of the winterization of the yacht, check and
complete these items in the interior of the yacht prior to
storage.
• Air out the cushions until they are completely dry.
Storing damp cushions leads to mildew.
• Position the cushions to allow air to circulate around
them.
• Purchase and position moisture accumulators
throughout the yacht. The moisture accumulators
help reduce the amount of moisture that
accumulates during storage.
• Remove items that could spoil or freeze while the
yacht is stored.
• Remove all dried food. Food attracts mice and
insects.
EXTERIOR CARE
As part of the winterization of the yacht, check and
complete these items on the exterior of the yacht prior to
storage.
• Wash the exterior of the yacht, particularly the
underwater portions.
• Remove as much aquatic growth as possible while
wet. Dried growth is more difficult to remove.
• Check the zinc sacrificial anodes for deterioration.
• Have the zinc sacrificial anodes replaced before
spring launch if signs of deterioration appear.
• Check stainless steel rails and fittings for signs of
rust.
• Remove rust prior to winter lay-up. Inspect the
underwater portions of the hull.
• Review anything that looks out of the ordinary with
your dealer.
