Batteries
− Optimally, batteries should be removed from the yacht and stored in
a cool, dry area and periodically charged during the lay-up period.
Ensure that battery electrolyte levels are topped up and batteries are
fully charged. Protect terminals with a corrosion-inhibiting product.
− Maintenance charging should be via the yacht’s marine battery
charging system. Never use a portable charger to maintain battery
charge levels.
Guidelines for performing some of the following maintenance tasks are
found elsewhere in this manual, e.g. water system and tank cleaning, as
well as in specific equipment manuals.
Electro-hydraulic control units
Protect components and connections with a corrosion-inhibiting product.
Check the oil level and top up as necessary.
Hydraulic steering system
Inspect all connections and lines for leaks. Check operation. Check and
top-up oil as indicated.
Bow thruster (optional)
Protect the electrical components with a corrosion-inhibiting product.
Check the oil level and top up as necessary.
Sacrifical Anodes (underwater and internal)
Inspect for condition and replace if indicated.
Teak wood deck and trim
Clean teak decks and trim with a cleaning solution recommended for
teak. Avoid harsh cleaning products that can strip the wood of its natural
oils.
Transducers
Remove the sending unit(s) and replace them with the cap plug provided.
This will prevent the sender from becoming fouled with marine growth if
the yacht is laid-up afloat. Clean the transducer units according to
directions in the equipment manuals.
Diesel fuel tanks
Service diesel fuel system filters. Treat fuel with a diesel-fuel biocide to
prevent formation of algae growth and other contaminants. Fill tanks
before storage to prevent condensation from forming and contaminating
fuel with water. Inspect all lines and fittings for leaks; service as indicated.
Anchor windlass (optional)
Check oil level on the gearbox body, if accessible.
Protect the electrical components with a corrosion-inhibiting product
suitable for electrical equipment. Lubricate the clutches and wildcat,
according to the instructions in the equipment manuals.
Exterior cushions
Clean and remove all sunpad and other upholstered cushions and store
them in a dry place.
Aluminum and steel fittings
Wash all metallic parts with fresh water and protect them with a corrosion-
inhibiting product.
MAINTENANCE
At least every 6 months check seams and fasteners.
At least every month carry out the washing of the cushions.
