7.11 Winterization
• Routine maintenance checks should be performed prior to each trip in accordance with Chapter 1, but
a broader assessment should be done before winterizing your catamaran and prior to the first trip of
the season. If your local climate does not require winter storage, complete the following steps at least
annually to ensure the safe operation of your boat.
• Do not leave loose items or personal effects onboard during storage. Remove all trash and debris prior
to cleaning the boat.
• Before storage clean the boat thoroughly, including exterior surfaces, fishboxes, livewells, and thru
hull fittings. If possible leave lids open slightly to allow fresh air exchange. Remove the garboard drains
and store the boat with the bow up to allow drainage.
• Inspect all electrical connections and the operation of pumps or other electrical devices. Perform
repairs if necessary. Coat electrical panels with an anti-corrosive spray, available from your dealer.
• Inspect the batteries and charge fully to prevent damage during storage. Disconnect the cables and
apply a coat of grease to the terminals to prohibit corrosion.
• Inspect all plumbing components and connections to prevent leaks. Replace any damaged hoses.
Drain all lines and devices to prevent damage from freezing. Lubricate valves to maintain proper
operation. Use the manufacturers recommendations for portable and marine heads.
• Inspect fuel system components and replace fuel / water separators. You can keep the system full but
do not overfill, and use a fuel additive to prevent condensation.
• Lubricate hinges and coat all metal surfaces with Boeshield T-9™ or other metal protector. Tighten
down hardware if necessary.
• Inspect caulking around hardware, windows, hatches, etc. to prevent water damage. Normal use will
break down sealants and can lead to costly repairs if not maintained.
• Remove or cover all electrical devices to prevent damage from UV rays. The rays will cloud electrical
displays and make them hard to read.
• Remove cushions and store indoors to prevent damage.
• Winterize the engines and controls per manufacturer’s recommendations and inspect all connections,
filters, and parts thoroughly. Replace parts as needed.
