CHAPTER XXVIII
WINTERIZATION!
As for winterization, we recommend that you make!
your own list of things to be done. Here is an example:!
Empty all water manifolds and connect the cockpit!
drains directly to the seacocks;!
Block deck drains and sail locker drains;!
Pump antifreeze in the head;!
Pump antifreeze in the cooling system of the!
engine; Empty water from the bilge;!
Disconnect the batteries;!
Do not leave water in any of the pumps.!
GELCOAT REPAIRS!
The gelcoat on your boat is not guaranteed by!
the company. The reasons are numerous. First, we cannot!
foresee the way this material will react to weather and!
since the base of this material is polyester resin!
without fibre, it has a tendency to crack.!
CRACKS!
One should not worry about these cracks since!
they are strictly aesthetic and trying to repair them!
would make them look worse. Instead, we recommend that!
the cavity be cleaned and filled with a wax crayon sold!
especially for this purpose.!
