Seasonal Maintenance
tions in the marine toilet owner’s manual. The
fresh water supply will be winterized with the
fresh water system. Drain the discharge hoses
completely turning off the fresh water supply so
the bowl stays dry and flushing the toilet several
times. The head holding tank and macerator
discharge pump must be pumped dry and three
gallons of potable water antifreeze poured into
the tank through the deck waste pump out fit -
ting. After the antifreeze has been added to the
holding tank, open the overboard discharge valve
and activate the macerator pump (if your boat is
equipped with the optional overboard discharge
system) until the antifreeze solution is visible at
the discharge thru-hull.
NOTICE:
Make sure you follow the marine toilet manu-
facturer’s winterizing instructions exactly.
Grey Water System
The drain sump system must be properly winter-
ized. Clean debris from the drain and sump. After
the system is clean, pump the drain sump as dry
as possible. Then pour a potable water antifreeze
mixture into each sink drain until antifreeze has
been pumped through the entire system and into
the waste tank.
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 win-
ter in climates where freezing occurs. Compart-
ments in the bilge that will not drain completely
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.
Tower
It is imperative that all drain holes in the legs
are open and that the legs are completely free of
water. Remove the canvas and thoroughly clean
and store in a safe, dry place. Coat all wire con-
nectors and bus bars in the helm compartment
with a protecting oil.
Clean the tower with soap and water and dry
thoroughly. Apply a high quality wax to protect
the finish.
Outboard Engines
The engines should be flushed with fresh water for
at least 15 minutes prior to winter storage. This
will remove salt, sand and other contaminates that
can damage the engine. It is also important to
“Fog” the cylinders, change the gear and engine
oil, coat each engine with a protector, wax the ex-
terior and properly store and charge the batteries.
You should refer to the engine owner’s manual
or contact your dealer for specific instructions on
winterizing your engines.
Notice:
Properly winterize the engines and fuel sys-
tem by following the engine manufacturer’s
winterizing procedures located in your en-
gine owner’s manuals or contact an Monterey
dealer.
Special Notes Prior To Winter Storage
If the boat will be in outside storage, properly sup-
port a storage cover and secure it over the boat. It
is best to have a frame built over the boat to sup-
port 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 inadequate ventilation and this
can lead to mildew, moisture accumulation, etc.
It is essential to fasten the canvas down securely
so that the wind cannot remove it or cause chafing
of the hull superstructure. Do not store the boat
in a damp storage enclosure. Excessive damp-
ness can cause electrical problems, corrosion, and
excessive mildew.
Whenever possible, do not use the enclosure cur-
tains in place of the winter storage cover. The life
of these curtains may be significantly shortened
if exposed to harsh weather elements for long
periods.
CAUTION
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 serious
damage to the boat. If the boat is to be stored
indoors, make sure the building has enough ven-
tilation. It is very important that there is enough
ventilation both inside the boat and around the
boat.
