Section 12 Seasonal Maintenance
12-4
The air conditioning, engine control system,
head, and steering systems have specific
lay-up requirements. Refer to the owner’s
manuals for recommended winterizing pro-
cedures.
Bilge
Coat all metal components, wire busses,
connector plugs (in the bilge), all strainers,
seacocks and steering components with
a protecting oil. 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.
Hardtop
Makes sure all drain holes in the legs are
open and 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 protect-
ing 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.
NOTICE
!
Make sure the leg drain holes are clear
when the boat is laid up for the win-
ter. Water trapped inside the hardtop,
tower or radar arch legs can freeze
and cause the legs to split.
Tower (if installed)
Make sure all holes in the tower and hardtop
legs are open and completely free of water.
Check and clear tower basket drains of debris.
Remove the tower sun shade, if installed, the
belly band or other upholstery, 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 pro-
tecting 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.
Covering for Winter Storage
Proper storage is very important to prevent
serious damage to the boat. If the boat is
stored outside, support and secure a storage
cover properly over the boat. It is best to have
a frame built over the boat to support the can-
vas. 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 can lead to mildew, moisture accumula-
tion, etc. Fasten the canvas down securely
so wind 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.
DO NOT use the bimini top or convertible top
canvas in place of the winter storage cover.
The life of these tops can be shortened if
exposed to harsh weather elements for long
periods.
DO NOT use an electric or fuel burning heat-
ing unit in the bilge area.
