IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the fuel
tanks so fuel fl ows from the vent(s). Al-
low suffi cient room in the tanks for fuel to
expand.
Prepare the engines for storage. Refer
to the engine manual for winterization
and storage procedures.
Prepare the generator and air condition-
ers (if so equipped) for storage. Refer
to the generator manual and the air
conditioner manual, included with your
owner’s packet, for the proper winteriza-
tion and storage procedures.
Draining Your Yacht
Your yacht has drain plugs for draining wa-
ter from the bilge (See Mechanical Layout
on Page ?, which illustrates the location of
the garboard drain plugs). Some compart-
ments in the bilge may not drain completely
due to the position of the yacht. Pump these
compartments out with a portable pump and
then use a sponge to remove all remaining
water.
The procedure for draining and winterizing
the fresh water system is as follows:
Drain the fresh water supply tank by
opening the hot and cold faucets in the
galley for ten (10) minute intervals until
the tank is empty.
Open all faucets in the galley, both
showers, both head sinks and the exte-
rior cockpit shower.
Remove the fresh water fi lter bowl and
strainer. Clean, dry and replace strainer
bowl.

Drain the water heater and remove the
cold water intake hose and hot water
output hose and hook them together.
Remove the inlet hose from the fresh
water tank (See Mechanical Layout on
Page ?, which illustrates the location of
the fresh water tank) and insert it into a
container of non-toxic, fresh water anti-
freeze. Turn the fresh water pump ON
and starting at the farthest faucet from
the pump, turn ON all faucets until the
anti-freeze fl ows out.
Turn OFF the fresh water pump and
reconnect the inlet hose to the fresh
water tank.
Pour non-toxic anti-freeze into all sink
and shower drains until the liquid is dis-
charged overboard.
Alternate procedure for draining and winter-
izing the fresh water system is as follows:
Drain all water from the fresh water
tank.
Drain all water from the water heater.
Remove hose from the input side of the
fresh water pump and allow to com-
pletely drain.
Remove hose from the output side of
the fresh water pump and turn ON all
faucets.
Blow compressed air (15-20 lbs. psi)
through the output hose until all water
stops fl owing from the faucets.
Leave water lines at the fresh water
pump disconnected to allow any trapped
water vapor to drain and evaporate.
