STORAGE/WINTERIZATION
IMPORTANT
Winter storage is recommended to be done in one of the following three ways, either: 1) by
blocking the boat via a cradle 2) with chained stands on level ground; or 3) by storing the
boat in the water with a bubbler system to prevent icing. Damage to your boat, including en-
gine misalignment caused by twisting, is not covered by the warranty
.
SAILS
Sails should be properly folded and stowed in a dry,
well-ventilated place. Many sailboat owners send
their sails back to the sail manufacturer at the end of
each season. The sail maker will check the stitching
and sailcloth for wear and store the sails until the
start of the next season.
ELECTRICAL
Remove battery from boat (Refer to Engine Manual)
and charge. It is a good idea to also remove the
electronics (radio, radar, etc) and store in a safe
place
.
CUSHIONS
Cushions should be removed and stored at home if
possible. If not, prop them vertically to promote air
flow around each cushion.
Dry clean only!
HATCHES
Tenting the deck during storage will help prevent ice
from forming and damaging hatches and deck fit-
tings. The installation of a passive vent will help with
ventilation while the boat is in storage.
WATER SYSTEM
Open a faucet and allow the pump to empty the
tank. Then add approximately two gallons (7.6L) of
non-toxic anti-freeze solution to the tank and repeat
the pumping out procedure.
A second method is to disconnect the hoses at the
pump, allowing them to drain. Find the lowest point
in the system and disconnect the fitting. Open all
faucets to allow the lines to drain. If possible, use a
short of hose on the faucet to blow through the lines
to clear all water. A diluted solution with baking soda
will help freshen the system.
WATER SYSTEM
Open valve and drain fully leave valve open during
lay-up time.
TOILET AND HOLDING TANK
Drain and flush toilet. Using non-toxic anti-freeze in
a 50/50 mixture with water, pump through toilet and
into holding tank.
OUTBOARD ENGINE
Take it home and store it in a safe place. Be very
careful storing the gas tank as the gasoline is very
flammable. Refer to Engine Manual for specific
maintenance schedule.
INBOARD ENGINE
Winterizing Fresh Water Cooled Diesel Engines
1. Drain crankcase and transmission and refill with
fresh lubricant as specified in Engine Manual.
2. Drain and clean all fuel filters and change ele-
ments, gaskets, and seals. Bleed all air from fuel
systems.
3. Start engine and bring up to operating tempera-
ture.
4. Close the sea cock, remove the raw water pickup
hose from the raw water pump and immerse one
end into a 5-gallon (19L) bucket of anti-freeze solu-
tion. Start engine and run till anti-freeze solution
comes out exhaust stack or until bucket is empty.
Attach the raw water pickup hose to the raw water
pump. Tighten all clamps.
NOTE: This procedure
bypasses the sea strainer to prevent anti-freeze
from crystallizing in sea strainer, which warranty
will not over.
5. Loosen water pump and alternator belts to lessen
tension on belts during winter.
6. For engines equipped with a hand crank: pull
compression release levers and turn engine slowly
with the hand crank. Slowly pour about 2 ounces of
engine oil into the intake pipe or manifold while hand
cranking the engine. This will allow for a thin coat of
oil on the valves and upper cylinder.
DO NOT USE
starter to turn engine or serious engine damage may
result.
7. Tape the openings of the intake and exhaust
manifolds with duct tape to help prevent corrosion of
the upper cylinder during lay-up.
8. Scrape all rust or corrosion from exposed metal
parts and surfaces. Scrub all metal surfaces with de-
tergent and rinse thoroughly. Paint any bare metal.
9. Place a dust cover over engine. Do not leave the
engine exposed to rain and sea breeze.
10. Disconnect the battery cables; remove the bat-
tery from the boat. Clean the terminal ends and bat-
tery with a solution of baking soda and water, and
