electronics. Coat all wire connectors and bus bars in the helm

compartment with a protecting oil. Cover the tower basket

with a tarp and secure it properly.

Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water and dry

thoroughly. Apply an aluminum metal protector to the entire

frame to reduce corrosion and pitting. Apply an automotive

or boat wax to powder coated aluminum to protect it during

storage periods.

Special Notes Prior To Winter Storage

If the boat will be in outside storage, properly support a storage

cover and secure it over the boat. It is best to have a frame built

over the boat to support the canvas. It should be a few inches

wider than the boat so the canvas will clear the rails and allow

passage of air. If this cover is fastened too tightly there will

be inadequate ventilation and this can lead to mildew, moisture

accumulation, etc. It is essential to fasten the canvas down

securely so that the wind cannot remove it or cause chaﬁng of

the hull superstructure. Do not store the boat in a damp storage

enclosure. Excessive dampness can cause electrical problems,

corrosion, and excessive mildew.

Whenever possible, do not use the enclosure curtains in place

of the winter storage cover. The life of these curtains may be

signiﬁcantly shortened if exposed to harsh weather elements

for long periods.

RECOMMENDED.

Proper storage is very important to prevent serious damage to

the boat. If the boat is to be stored indoors, make sure the build-

ing has enough ventilation. It is very important that there is

enough ventilation both inside the boat and around the boat.

Note: If the boat is to be stored indoors or outdoors, open

all drawers, clothes lockers, cabinets, and doors

a little. If possible, remove the upholstery, mat

tresses, clothing, and rugs. Then hang a commer-

cially available mildew protector in the cabin.

14.3 Recommissioning

DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS

COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS

TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO

SPECIFICATIONS.

Note: It is important and recommended that the ﬁtting

out procedure for the marine gear be done by a

qualiﬁed marine technician. Read the engine own-

er’s manual for the recommended procedure.

BEFORE LAUNCHING THE BOAT, MAKE SURE THE

HULL DRAIN PLUG IS INSTALLED.

MAKE SURE THE MUFFLERS HAVE NOT BEEN

DAMAGED DURING WINTER STORAGE AND

THAT THE DRAIN PLUGS ARE INSTALLED AND

PROPERLY TIGHTENED. LOOSE OR MISSING

DRAIN PLUGS AND DAMAGED OR LEAKING

MUFFLERS OR EXHAUST HOSES WILL ALLOW

CARBON MONOXIDE, ENGINE GASES, AND WATER

INTO THE BILGE CREATING A POTENTIALLY

HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

Note: Not all mufﬂers are equipped with drain plugs.

Reactivating The Boat After Storage:

• Apply a fresh coat of bottom paint on the hull and running

gear.

• Inspect running gear and thru-hull ﬁttings.

• Install the propellers. Refer to the Propulsion System

chapter for information on installing propellers.

• Install the drain plug in the hull.

• Charge and install the batteries.

• Check the engines for damage and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions for recommissioning.

• Check the engine mounting bolts to make sure they are

tight.
