x Change the engine lower unit lubricant. This will remove contaminants that may have built up
throughout the boating season. This is also a good time to check for lower unit seal problems. If
there is a leak, have it repaired by your dealer.
x Remove the propeller and grease the propeller shaft. Inspect the shaft and propeller for unusual
wear or signs of deterioration.
12.2 Hull
x Wax the entire boat. The hull will maintain its factory delivered luster much longer if waxed at least
once a season. The inside of the boat, which is subject to the sun’s direct rays, will also respond
well to a good coat of marine wax.
DO NOT wax the non-skid surfaces.
x Remove the hull plug so the sump area can breathe.
12.3 Storage
x It is best to store the boat inside, however if inside storage is not available, use the following
guidelines in order of preference
x Under awning with no boat cover
x Outside under a boat cover. (Boat cover should allow ample ventilation and be removed
periodically to allow moisture to dissipate avoiding mildew growth and staining.
12.4 Trailer
x Check the wheel bearings for water. Clean/repack/replace as necessary.
x Check the tires for proper inflation.
x Try to store the boat and tra
iler with the bow slightly elevated so it will drain.
x If possible, cover the boat so that the sun will not deteriorate and tree sap and other
environmental hazards will not damage the deck or upholstery. If covered, make sure to let air
circulate so mildew will not build up. If in a high snow or rain area, make sure to properly support
the cover to sustain and shed the load.
