by Nikl Design USER MANUAL
8.0 WINTER STORAGE PREPARATION
➢ If the boat is covered with plastic, it is important to protect all surfaces against
rubbing and tearing through the winter. It is a big risk that this will go mat, if it is
unprotected. Use masking tape or similar to protect gelcoat, glass and steel.
➢ Empty the windscreen water system.
8.1 BATTERIES
The batteries can be kept in the boat during the winter, although it is not recommended.
If you leave them in the boat then it is important that the batteries are fully charged and
maintained during the winter to compensate the self-discharge that will happen. If the
batteries are kept in the boat, it is also important to disconnect the PLUS cable (the red
one) and prevent contact with electrical cables and the battery cable shoe.
DANGER:
If the batteries are connected to a maintenance charger that is connected to a
grounded outlet, the boat is in big risk of galvanic corrosion due to grounding
errors between the boat grounding (z-drive or shaft) and the land grounding.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the hot water tank, disconnect the 220V system when the
hot water tank is empty. Pull out the plug.
8.2 HULL
➢ Clean the boat while it is still in the water. Scrub all spots on deck and at the
waterline. Use a boat shampoo.
➢ Control all through hull fittings.
➢ To save work it is recommended to polish the boat before the winter.
➢ Clean all dust and dirt to prevent a bad smell the next season.
➢ Remove all personal belongings to prevent mildew.
➢ Place 1-2 moist removers that attract moist and condense. Drain these
periodically through the storage period.
8.3 STEERING SYSTEM
➢ See the enclosed steering system supplier’s user manual.
➢ Control all nuts, joints and through hull leads. Look for damages.
➢ Control all fittings, hoses and bearings.
➢ Control the steering fluid in the hydraulics system. Refill if necessary.
