Inspect the winch and fastening hook for wear. Check tie-downs for
fraying. Loosen or remove tie-downs. Lubricate the winch, the coupler,
all rollers and pivot points. Check the safety chains for weak links or
faulty hooks.
Boat
A Comment from Seaswirl: Remove the bilge drain plug immedi-
ately after taking the boat out of the water. After washing, raise the
bow to allow as much water as possible to drain while performing
other storage preparations. Store the plug in a plastic bag and tape it
to the throttle control lever so that it does not get lost.
If you are placing the boat in dry storage, scrape any barnacles and
other growth off the hull. Scrub the hull and deck thoroughly to
remove marine growth and scum. Inspect the underwater gear and
propellers for excessive wear or damage. Check whether the bottom
needs repainting.
A Comment from Seaswirl: Clean the hull right after the boat is
hauled out of the water. Marine growth and barnacles are easier to
remove while they are still wet.
Wash the deck and cockpit. Clean all metal surfaces, and apply a coat
of rust inhibitor. Clean the indoor/outdoor carpet. Prepare canvas for
storage. If you choose to shrink wrap your boat, be sure to provide
proper ventilation to prevent condensation and mildew growth. See
your dealer for additional information.
ENGINE AND STERNDRIVE
Refer to the engine operation and maintenance manual for detailed
instructions on storing and winterization. Have your Seaswirl dealer or an
authorized marine service dealer winterize the engines and sterndrive.
IMPORTANT: In regions where temperatures fall below freezing, all
water in the engine must be removed or replaced with a marine
antifreeze solution before winter storage. Failure to do so will seriously
damage the engine. Mix antifreeze according to label directions for the
lowest expected temperature. Use nontoxic antifreeze to prevent dam-
age to the environment. Freeze damage is not covered by the warranty.
Fuel System
Fill the fuel tank completely to reduce condensation. Add a gasoline
stabilizer solution to the fuel before storage. Follow the stabilizer man-
ufacturer’s recommended procedure.
