should match the bottom of hull and should not be
putting pressure on the lifting strakes.
When supporting the boat with blocking:
• Make sure the boat is blocked on a level surface and
the bow is high enough so that water will drain from
the bilge and cockpit.
• Make sure the keel is supported with large, solid
wood blocks in at least three points. The keel should
be blocked high enough to allow the engines to be
tilted to the down position.
• Use at least three heavy duty jacks on each side of
the hull and make sure the boat is level from side to
side. The jacks must be on a solid surface like
packed gravel, concrete or pavement. All of the
supports must be set up properly to prevent the
boat from shifting while it is in storage.
When storing the boat on a cradle:
Preparing The Boat For Storage
• Remove the bilge drain plug in the transom.
• Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior, especially
the antifouling portion of the bottom. Remove as
much marine growth as possible. Lightly wax the
exterior fiberglass components.
• Remove all oxidation from the exterior hardware,
and apply a light film of moisture displacing
lubricant.
• Remove propellers and grease the propeller shafts
using light waterproof grease.
• Remove the batteries and store in a cool place.
Clean using clear, clean water. Be sure the batteries
have sufficient water and clean terminals. Keep the
batteries charged and safe from freezing throughout
the storage period.
Note: Refer to the Electrical System chapter, for
information on the maintenance of the AC
and DC electrical systems.
• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical components
in the cabin and cockpit with a protecting oil.
• Clean out, totally drain and completely dry the
fishboxes, sinks and baitwells.
• Thoroughly clean the interior of the head
compartment.
• Remove cushions, as many locker doors as possible.
Leaving as many of these areas open as possible will
improve the boat’s ventilation during the storage
period.
Note: It is recommended that mildew preventer
be hung in the boat’s head compartment
before it is closed for storage.
• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good vinyl
cleaner and dry thoroughly. Spray the weather
covers and boat upholstery with a spray disinfectant.
Enclosed areas such as the fishboxes, shower basin,
storage locker areas, etc. also should be sprayed
with this disinfectant.
11.2 Winterizing
Freshwater System
The entire freshwater system must be completely
drained. Disconnect all hoses, check valves, etc. and
blow all the water from the system. Make sure the
freshwater tank is completely drained. Use only very low
pressure when doing this to prevent possible system
damage. Because of the check valve mechanism built in
the pump, blowing the lines will not remove the water
from the freshwater pump. Remove the inlet and outlet
hoses on the pump. Turn the pump on allow it to pump
out any remaining water….about a cupful. A
recommended alternative to the above-mentioned
procedure is the use of commercially available non toxic,
freshwater system antifreeze. After draining the potable
water tank and lines, pour the antifreeze mixture into
the freshwater tank, prime and operate the pump until
the mixture flows from all freshwater faucets. Be sure to
open all water faucets, including the freshwater shower
in the cockpit. Make sure antifreeze has flowed through
all of the freshwater drains.
Raw Water System
Completely drain the raw water systems. Disconnect all
hoses and blow the water from the system. Use only
very low air pressure when doing this to prevent
possible system damage. Because of the check valve
mechanism built in the raw water washdown and
