Bilge
Coat all metal components, wire busses, and connector 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. Compartments 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.
Hard Top
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. Remove all
electronics. Coat all wire connectors and bus bars in the helm compartment with a protecting oil.
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.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE LEG DRAIN HOLES ARE CLEAR WHEN THE BOAT
IS LAID UP FOR THE WINTER. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE HARDTOP,
TOWER OR RADAR ARCH LEGS COULD FREEZE AND CAUSE THE LEGS TO
SPLIT.
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 cleared 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 accumula-
tion, 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.
