• Check tie-downs for fra ying. Loosen or
remove tie-downs.
• Check the electrical system for w ear or
loose connections, and repair if necessar y.
• Open tail light lenses and inspect bulbs and
sockets for excessive r ust and cor rosion.
Coat metal base of bulb with a die-electric
grease or spray with WD-40.
• If storing your boat on a trailer , make sure
that the trailer suppor ts are aligned with the
structural members of the hull. Distribute
the weight properly. Make sure your boat is
well suppor ted across the transom and k eel.
• Put the rig on blocks or else mo ve the trailer
from time to time to pre vent flat spots on
the tires.
• Position your boat’ s bow to allow w ater to
drain via the transom drain. Do not allow
rain water to collect inside the boat.
• If it is possible for w ater to accumulate on
the boat co vers, poke a small hole near the
back of your boat co ver canvas. Prepare the
hole with a grommet to pre vent tearing. If
your boat is tilted backw ards, rain water will
run through the hole and out the bilge drain
hole.
HULL
• If your boat is going to be placed in dr y stor-
age, as soon as the boat is hauled out,
scrape off any barnacles and other growth if
necessar y. Scrub the hull and deck thor-
oughly to remo ve marine growth and scum.
(The hull is easiest to clean when the boat
is first hauled out and while the adhering
material is still w et.)
• Inspect the underw ater gear and propeller s
for excessive w ear or damage.
DECK
• Wash the deck, super structure, and/or cock-
pit, clean all chrome and coat with a r ust
inhibitor before storing .
• Clean the indoor/outdoor car pet.
ENGINE, SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS
ENGINE AND OUTDRIVE
Have your dealer prepare the engine and out-
drive for winter storage.
Your dealer will ser vice
the cooling system as par t of the engine winteri-
zation. Special skills, tools, and equipment are
required.
IMPORTANT: In regions where temperatures fall
below freezing, all w ater in the engine must be
removed or replaced with a marine antifreeze
solution before storing your boat for the winter .
Failure to do so will seriously damage the
engine. Freeze damage is not co vered by the
warranty. Mix antifreeze according to label direc-
tions for the low est expected temperature. Use
non-toxic antifreeze to pre vent damage to the
environment. Make sure your boat’ s engine is
slightly bow up during the extended storage
period.
FUEL SYSTEM
Fill the fuel tank to minimize condensation. If
tank is completely filled, fuel ma y overflow from
the tank during hot w eather. Help pre vent dam-
age to the en vironment. Leave enough space for
fuel to expand. Add a gasoline stabilizer solution
to the fuel prior to storage. F ollow the stabilizer
manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
SEACOCKS
Seacocks are normally winterized as par t of win-
terizing the equipment and systems the y serve.
When your boat is out of the w ater, open each
seacock to drain w ater out of the valve. W ater
freezing in seacocks can damage valves.
IMPORTANT: During commissioning , be sure to
close all seacocks before low ering your boat
into the w ater.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Water must be remo ved from the fresh w ater
system to pre vent damage to system compo-
nents during cold w eather.
1. Turn on fresh w ater pump.
2. Open all faucets and allow pump to empty
fresh water tank.
3. Close faucets when tank is empty . Shut off
water pump.
