When the boating and ski season comes to a close, it is important
to have your boat professionally winterized.
If your boat is exposed to temperatures below 32 degrees F (0
degrees C) it is possible for water in the engine, ballast system,
heater core, etc., to freeze. As this water freezes, it expands and
can crack pumps, valves, heat exchangers, engine blocks, etc.
This type of damage usually requires the replacement of the
cracked item and can be very expensive to repair.
It is extremely important to follow the proper winterizing
procedure. The engine must be correctly winterized for
safe storage in your climate. This should be done by a
professional. Your Moomba dealer will know exactly what
must be done to ensure the longest possible life for your
boat.
In addition to having your boat professionally winterized,
the following tasks should be done to protect your boat
during storage:
Remove the center drain plug from the boat.
Thoroughly clean the boat inside and out. Inspect the hull
for any residue or algae growth and remove if required.
Clean the bilge area thoroughly and operate the bilge pump
to remove any water from the bilge hose.
Remove all seat cushions and open all storage areas to allow
air circulation in the boat interior.
When thoroughly dry, replace cushions and close storage
areas.
Top off fuel tank to prevent any condensation from
accumulating in the fuel system. Use a commercially available
fuel stabilizer to remove water and prevent gumming.
If the boat is stored on its trailer, ensure that the boat is
properly positioned. If possible, lift the tongue so that the
bow is slightly raised to promote drainage from the drain
hole.
Install the canvas cover and secure the straps in accordance
with cover instructions.
NOTE: During the winter months, water is a boat’s
worst enemy. Always store the boat when the interior is
completely dry. Periodically check on the condition of the
stored boat.
Damage due to improper winterization IS NOT covered
under your boat’s warranty.

Section XII
Winterization & Dry Storage
Before using the boat after it has been in dry storage requires
some special treatment. Moomba recommends having your
boat professionally summerized, preferably by the same facility
that prepped it for storage. They will be familiar with what items
were done in the fall and what items need to be addressed in
the spring.
In addition to having your boat professionally summerized,
the following list of tasks should be done to ensure a
successful start to your boating season.
When launching the boat for the first time of the season, carefully
watch all gauges to ensure that the boat is not overheating, the
alternator is charging and the engine has proper oil pressure.
