30:03CUTLASSBEARING:Theshaftstrutcontainsarubbertypebearingwhichlubricates
thesupportoftheshaft.Athaulout,besurethebearingslotsareclearandapply
siliconelubricantorcastoroiltothebearingtopreserveit'ssuppleness.Replace
shaftzincifnecessary.
30:04FRESHWATERSYSTEM
:Thissystemisbestwinterizedwithoneoftheantifreezes
availableforuseinboatandrecreationalfreshwatersystems.Itisaneasymethodwhich
insuresthatnopurewaterisleftinthesystemtofreeze.
Ifthereisahotwaterheateronboard,allowheatertocoolandopenthepressure
releasevalveontop.Disconnectthehotandcoldwaterhosesandallowthetanktodrain
eitherinabucketorintothebilge.Connectandclampthehotandcoldwaterhoses
togetherusingashortlengthof1/2"pipeinordertobypasstheheater.
Mixtheappropriateamountsofantifreezeandwater,asdirectedonthelabel,todeliver
thedegreeofprotectiondesired.Put11/2to2gallonsofthesolutionintoeachwater
tank.
Ifyourboatisequippedwithtwowatertanks,turnselectorvalvetotheauxiliarytank
andpumptheantifreezesolutionthrougheachofthenonpressurizedoutlets.
Usethefootpumpinthegalleyandheadandpumpuntilantifreezeisseencomingoutof
eachfaucet.Ifamanualshowerhookupisinstalled,openthatfixtureandpumpuntil
antifreezerunsthrough.
Switchselectorvalvetootherwatertankandifonlyonetankisaboard,carryoutthe
aboveprocedureusingthatonetank.
Ifapressurizedwatersystemisinstalled,turnonthepumpandopenallfixturesuntil
antifreezerunsthrough.Besuretoopenthehotwaterselectorvalveinordertosupply
antifreezetothehotwaterhosesandthroughthebypassloop.
30:00WINTERIZING(Cont'd)
Atthispointthefreshwatersystemshouldbecompletelyprotectedbyantifreezeagainst
freezingtoadegreeindicatedbythestrengthofthesolutionplacedintothesupply
tanks.
Newboatsdeliveredinwinterhavetheirfreshwatersystemsfilledwithantifreezeas
describedaboveandareprotectedto30degrees.
30:05WASTEDISCHARGESYSTEM
:Severaldaysbeforecompletinghauloutprocedures,
freshwatershouldbeallowedtostandintheheadunittodissolveanysaltaccumulation
inthehosesandpump.Removeallwaterfromtheheadunit.Speciallubricantsforthe
pump'sinternalmechanismareavailable.Checkwithyourmarinehardwaredealerfora
recommendedbrand.Neverputoil,gas,keroseneoralcoholintotheheadortheywill
ruintheinternalvalves.
Ifaholdingtankisaboard,completelypumpoutallwasteandpourinacleansing,
deodorizingsolution.Allowthistositeinthetankovernightifpossible,then
completelypumpoutanddraintheentiresystem.Ifantifreezeisusedinthesystem,
checkinthemanufacturer'sliteraturebinderfortherecommendedtype.
30:06ENGINE
:Theengineowner'smanualforyourspecificenginecontainsguidelines
forwinterizing.Followtheinstructionscarefullytoinsuretheenginesprotection.
Theexhaustsystemshouldbedrainedbymeansofthedrainplugatthebottomofthelow
pointofthemetalexhausttubeonsomemodels,orbyremovingthewaterhose.Thewater
lockcanister,accessiblethroughthecockpitlocker,shouldbepartiallyfilledwith
antifreeze.Coverandsealtheexhaustportatthetransomtopreventairfromcirculating
intotheengine.
30:07FUELSYSTEM
:Shutoffthefuelvalveanddrainthefuelfilter.Cleanthe
filterbowlandreplacethefuelelementfilterinthespringbeforelaunching.This
insuresthatresidualfuelwillnotgumupandclogfinepassagesofthefilterelement.
