W INTERIZATION AND STORAGE
7–3
HEAD SYSTEM
Empty toilet and holding tank making sure all water is cleared. Reference Owner’s Packet for
manufacturer’s information on winterization. Water should be removed from deck pump-out
hoses.
BATTERIES
Fully charge the battery before storing. A weak battery loses its charge more rapidly than a
strong battery. Ideally, you should disconnect the battery and cover the terminals with grease to
prevent corrosion.
ENGINES
See your engine Operator’s Manual regarding the winterizing procedures. Follow instructions
carefully, and your engine will withstand severe weather conditions. Change all filters. Check
hoses and clamps. If you have developed any vibrations during the season, look for loose engine
bolts, bent shafts or bent propellers.
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel systems should be winterized by following the fuel system maintenance and fuel tank
compartment instructions in the maintenance and service section. Tanks should be kept filled
when the boat is not in use to reduce the accumulation of moisture and condensation. Add
stabilizer to fuel that won’t be used in 60-90 days. .
STORAGE CHECKLIST
In addition to winterization guidelines the following checklist can be used as a guide for
storing your boat. Additional details should be added as needed for your personal application.
• Remove all loose items and personal effects.
