WINTERIZATION AND STORAGE
FITTING OUT AFTER STORAGE
Fitting out is not difficult if the boat was properly prepared
for storage. Before launching your boat, do not load
unneeded equipment or personal items until the launch
and final checkout are complete. For detailed information
on recommissioning your boat’s systems and equipment,
refer to the owner’s manual for each system or component.
1. Inspect, visually and by smelling, the fuel system and
all associated components for loose or damaged hoses
and connections, wear, leaks or other damage and
needed repair. Inspection of the fuel system is a most
important safety precaution.
2. Check propellers for proper installation and tightness.
Clean propeller if necessary.
3. Inspect all life jackets, anchor lines and other safety
equipment for proper operation and physical condition.
Repair or replace if necessary.
4. Check all safety equipment including flares, flags, fire
extinguishers and first aid kits. Replace equipment as
necessary.
5. Check charge on battery. Recharge or replace if
necessary.
6. Clean battery terminal posts and cable terminal with
wire brush or bronze wool. Inspect all battery wiring.
Repair or replace if necessary.
7. Install batteries and attach cables. After cable posts
are tightened down, smear posts with petroleum jelly or
dielectric grease to keep out air and acid. Check all
wiring connections and contacts for corrosion and
tightness.
8. Inspect all wiring for fraying, wear, loose connections
or other damage. Repair or replace if necessary.
9. Inspect all switches, controls and other related
equipment for proper operation. Repair or replace if
necessary.
