Winter Storage (C)
Refer to the engine manual for winterising the engine, otherwise generally include the
following:
Remove, charge and store the battery in a dry, ventilated place protected from frost
Remove the fuel tank and store in a suitable area away from the boat
Grease the steering gear
Remove all water from the craft and protect it from rain, preferably stored inside
Inspect all areas, fixtures & fittings replacing any doubtful components
When storing the boat on a trailer, the fastening straps must be loosened. If the engine is still
mounted, its weight must be supported. During the period of storage, heavy loose items such
as the battery and fuel tank should be removed.
If stored outdoors, cover the boat with a non-transparent tarpaulin. Ensure, however, that the
boat has sufficient ventilation. The tarpaulin and its fastening ropes will chafe the surface of
the boat if they flap and move in the wind, so fasten them with care. When storing outdoors,
make sure that an excessive amount of snow or puddles can not accumulate on top of the
tarpaulin. Storing the boat on its side is not recommended.
Additional Manuals (C)
Any additional equipment, fixtures and fittings should have their instructions/manuals stored
with this manual and passed on to any subsequent owners.
