The drain sump system must be properly winter-
ized. Clean debris from the drain and sump and
flush for several minutes with fresh clean water.
After the system is clean, pump the drain sump
as dry as possible. Then pour a potable water
antifreeze mixture into the air conditioning drain
pan until antifreeze has been pumped through the
entire system and out of the thru-hull. The air
conditioning system and fresh water shower share
the same sump system.
Note: The air conditioning, engine control sys-
tem, head, and steering systems have
specific lay up requirements. Please
refer to their owner’s manuals for rec-
ommended winterizing procedures.
Bilge
Coat all metal components, wire busses, and con-
nector plugs in the bilge with a protecting oil. It
is also important to protect all strainers, seacocks
and steering components. The bilge pumps and
bilge pump lines must be completely free of water
and dried out when the boat is laid up for the
winter in climates where freezing occurs. Com-
partments in the bilge that will not drain com-
pletely should be pumped out and then sponged
until completely free of water. Dry the hull bilge
and self-bailing cockpit troughs. Water freezing
in these areas could cause damage.
Special Notes Prior To Winter Storage
If the boat will be in outside storage, properly
support a storage cover and secure it over the
boat. It is best to have a frame built over the
boat to support the canvas. It should be a few
inches wider than the boat so the canvas will
clear the rails and allow passage of air. If this
cover is fastened too tightly there will be inad-
equate ventilation and this can lead to mildew,
moisture accumulation, etc. It is essential to fasten
the canvas down securely so that the wind can-
not remove it or cause chafing of the hull super-
structure. Do not store the boat in a damp stor-
age enclosure. Excessive dampness can cause
electrical problems, corrosion, and excessive mil-
dew.
Whenever possible, do not use the enclosure cur-
tains in place of the winter storage cover. The
life of these curtains may be significantly short-
ened if exposed to harsh weather elements for
long periods.
PLACING AN ELECTRIC OR FUEL BURNING
HEATING UNIT IN THE BILGE AREA CAN BE
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
Proper storage is very important to prevent seri-
ous damage to the boat. If the boat is to be
stored indoors, make sure the building has enough
ventilation. It is very important that there is
enough ventilation both inside the boat and around
the boat.
Note: If the boat is to be stored indoors or
outdoors, open all drawers, clothes
lockers, cabinets, and doors a little. If
possible, remove the upholstery, mat-
tresses, clothing, and rugs. Then hang
a commercially available mildew pro-
tector in the cabin.
14.3 Recommissioning
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS
COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL
FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS
ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.
Note: It is important and recommended that
the fitting out procedure for the marine
gear be done by a qualified marine
technician. Read the engine owner’s
manual for the recommended proce-
dure.
MAKE SURE THE MUFFLER ON THE GENERATOR
HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED DURING WINTER
STORAGE AND THAT THE DRAIN PLUGS ARE
INSTALLED AND PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
LOOSE OR MISSING DRAIN PLUGS AND
DAMAGED OR LEAKING MUFFLERS OR
EXHAUST HOSES WILL ALLOW CARBON
MONOXIDE, ENGINE GASES, AND WATER INTO
THE BILGE CREATING A POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
Note: Not all mufflers are equipped with drain
plugs.
