er’s documentation for the components and follow the
maintenance schedules and procedures listed in that
literature. This information takes precedence over what

14.6 Storage and Lifting
In most cases, the reason for storage is winter layup.
The information in this section is a general guide. Your
boat dealer or a competent boatyard should prepare your
boat for winter storage. If you are removing your boat
from the water for another reason, use the information in
this section as a guideline. Following the procedures in
this section helps to extend the life of your boat and its
equipment and simplifies re-commencing in the spring.
Indoor storage is beneficial if you are storing your boat in
a climate that produces ice and snow. However, the stor-
age building should be adequately ventilated, not tightly
closed. Ventilation, both around and throughout the boat,
is very important.
If you use outdoor storage facilities, cover your boat with
a canvas cover with provisions for ventilation to keep the
boat from “sweating.” Building a frame over the boat to
support the canvas will allow the passage of air around
the boat. The frame should be a few inches wider than
the boat so the canvas will clear the rails.
Before preparing your boat for winter storage, check the
condition of the boat and its systems and equipment.
Note any repairs needed. The need for other repairs may
become apparent during winterization. Make arrange-
ments to have the repairs completed.
14.6.1 Lifting Your Boat
Following are guidelines which will help prevent damage
to your boat as it is being lifted.
* Never hoist the boat with a greater than normal accu-
mulation of water in the bilge. Fuel and water tanks
should be empty.
* Place slings where indicated by the sling tags on the
gunwale. Proper location of the aft sling is critical. Lifting
aft of the station indicated may damage the propeller
shaft. Lifting forward of the station indicated, with the
sling under the exhaust outlets, may cause cracking
which is not covered by the warranty. Blocks or pads at
the chine corners will help keep pressure to a minimum
at this point.
* Disconnect the propeller shafts at the transmissions to
prevent damage to the transmission.
* Use flat, wide slings made of belting and spreader bars
long enough to keep pressure off the gunwale. Do not
use cable slings. Pressure by the slings on the gunwale
can cause severe gelcoat crazing or more serious hull
damage.
* The spreader bar at each sling should be as long as the
distance across the widest point the sling surrounds.
* Weight should be primarily distributed along the keel.
