BALLAST SYSTEM PREPARATIONS 
 
Step 1
Attach a hose to the starboard side ballast hose that comes  out of 
the deck at the rear seat.
Step 2
Place the other end into a gallon of non-toxic, RV-type antifreeze.
Step 3
Turn the pump on to empty and pump anti-freeze into the system 
until antifreeze comes out of the thru-hull on the side.
Step 4
Turn the pump on to fill and pump antifreeze back into the jug.
empty the holding tank. Never use automotive-type anti-freeze in 
this freshwater system.
Step 7
If the tower will be lowered during storage, be certain that the tower 
does not rest on the boat upholstery  or on any support that rests 
on the upholstery. The tower or support(s) may leave a permanent 
imprint on the upholstery. This is not covered under warranty.
Step 8
Cover the boat with a boat cover or tarp.
NOTE: If the boat is to be stored outside and subject to accumulations 
of snow, water and ice, a support should be made for the boat cover 
so that it will not sag, rip or tear, thereby allowing water to enter the 
boat. Two-inch diameter PVC plumbing pipe is ideal for this purpose. 
It is readily available at local hardware stores, and it is easy to work 
with. Also, its rounded shape will prevent damage to the canvas.
