Tower (if installed)
It is imperative that all drain holes in the tower and hardtop legs are open and completely free of
water. Tower basket drains should be checked and clear of debris. Remove the tower sun shade,
if installed, the belly band or other upholstery and thoroughly clean and store in a safe, dry place.
Remove all electronics. Coat all wire connectors and bus bars in the helm compartment with a
protecting oil. Cover the tower basket with a tarp and secure it properly.
Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water and dry thoroughly. Apply an aluminum metal
protector to the entire frame to reduce corrosion and pitting.
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 inadequate ventilation and this can lead to mildew, moisture accumulation, etc.
It is essential to fasten the canvas down securely so that the winds cannot remove it or cause chafing
of the hull superstructure. Do not store the boat in a damp storage enclosure. Excessive dampness
can cause electrical problems, corrosion, and excessive mildew.
Whenever possible, do not use the bimini top or convertible top canvas in place of the winter storage
cover. The life of these canvases may be significantly shortened 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 RECOM-
MENDED.
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 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, mattresses, clothing,
and rugs. Then hang a commercially available mildew protector in the cabin.
