• Remove propeller assembly, and store in safe place.
• If your boat is equipped with an optional heater or hot-water shower, remove
both hoses and blow through hose to remove excess water.
• Cover the boat with cover, tarp or, if available, shrink-wrap tarp. Also, due to the
excess weight that can occur from rain and snow for boats that are stored
outside, it is suggested that you make a support of 2 inch PVC piping that can be
mounted under the covering material. The rounded PVC piping will ensure the
cover does not tear and will eliminate pooling water inside boat.
