Seasonal Maintenance
• Check the tires once each season. Add enough
air for the correct amount of inflation for the
tires as necessary.
Notice:
Read the owner’s manual for the trailer for
the correct amount of inflation for the tires.
When storing the boat on a lift or cradle:
• The cradle must be specifically for boat
storage.
• Make sure the cradle or lift is well supported
with the bow high enough to provide proper
drainage of the bilge and cockpit.
• Make sure the engine is in the down position.
• The cradle or lift must be in the proper fore
and aft position to properly support the hull.
When the cradle or lift is in the correct location,
the bunks should match the bottom of hull and
should not be putting pressure on the lifting
strakes.
CAUTION
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS, LIFTS AND
CRADLES THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BUNKS AND ROLLERS ARE
ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE
LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT
FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER
CRADLE OR TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE
EVERGLADES WARRANTY.
When supporting the boat with blocking:
• Make sure the boat is blocked on a level
surface and the bow is high enough so that
water will drain from the bilge and cockpit.
• Make sure the keel is supported with large,
solid wood blocks in at least three points.
• Use at least two heavy duty jacks on each
side of the hull and make sure the boat is
level from side to side. The jacks must be on
a solid surface like packed gravel, concrete
or pavement. All of the supports must be set
up properly to prevent the boat from shifting
while it is in storage.
Preparing The Boat For Storage:
• Remove the bilge drain plug, if installed.
• Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior,
especially the antifouling portion of the
bottom. Remove as much marine growth as
possible. Lightly wax the exterior fiberglass
components.
• Remove all oxidation from the exterior
hardware and apply a light film of moisture
displacing lubricant, wax or a metal protector.
• Remove the propeller and grease the propeller
shaft using light waterproof grease.
• Remove the batteries and store in a cool
place. Clean using clear, clean water. Be sure
the batteries have sufficient water and clean
terminals. Keep the batteries charged and safe
from freezing throughout the storage period.
Notice:
Refer to the Electrical System chapter for
information on the maintenance of the elec -
trical systems.
• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical
components in the console and cockpit with a
protecting oil.
• Clean out, totally drain and completely dry the
fish boxes, coolers, sinks and baitwells.
• Thoroughly clean the interior of the boat.
Vacuum all carpets and dry clean drapes and
upholstery.
• Remove cushions and open as many locker
doors as possible. Leaving as many of these
areas open as possible will improve the boat’s
ventilation during the storage period.
Notice:
It is recommended that a mildew preventer
be hung in the head compartment before it
is closed for storage.
• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good
vinyl cleaner and dry thoroughly. Spray the
weather covers and boat upholstery with a
spray disinfectant. Enclosed areas such as
the shower basin, storage locker areas, etc.
should also be sprayed with this disinfectant.
