If you leave the boat for a long period of time, put all cushions on their sides, open all interior
cabin and locker doors, and hang a commercially available mildew protector in the cabin.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL CAREFULLY ON MILDEW PROTECTORS. REMOVE
THE PROTECTOR AND ALLOW THE CABIN TO VENTILATE COMPLETELY BE-
FORE USING THE CABIN.
13.4 Bilge
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, it is recommended that you use a commercial bilge cleaner on
a regular basis. Follow the directions carefully. All exposed pumps and metal components in
the bilge should be sprayed periodically with a protector to reduce the corrosive effects of the
high humidity always present in these areas.
Periodically check the bilge pumps for proper operation and clean debris from the strainers and
float switches. Inspect all hoses, clamps and thru hulls for leaks and tightness on a regular basis
and operate all thru hull valves at least once a month to keep them operating properly.
13.5 Drainage System
It is essential that the following items be done periodically to maintain proper drainage of your
boat:
• Clean the cockpit drains with a hose to remove debris that can block water drainage.
• Clean the T-top or tower leg drain holes. This is especially important just before winter lay-
up.
• Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switch for proper operation. This is accomplished
by manually activating the float switch and lifting the float switch until the pump is activated.
You can also use a garden hose to flood the bilge until the water level is high enough to activate
the pump.
• Flush all gravity drains with freshwater to keep them clean and free flowing.
• Operate the thru hull valves once a month and service as required.
Note: All drains and pumps must be properly winterized before winter lay-up.
