Winterizing Your Boat
Winter storage procedures vary depending on climate, type of storage and
length of storage. Check with your dealer/storage facility manager for their
advice on what works best in your climate.
When storing your boat up on a rack system, it is important that the racks
adequately support the hull bottom.
If you don’t have a trailer, then a cradle should be used that takes into
account the even distribution of weight.
If you do not have a dealer or marina nearby and must arrange winter storage
yourself, contact your regional warehouse.
If you use a mooring cover, DO NOT put it on when the interior of the boat
is wet and/or hot. It will trap moisture that may lead to mildew on the carpet
and/or vinyl. Make sure your mooring cover allows air to circulate, even if
you have to leave a portion of the cover off.
Check For Water In Your Fuel System
A small amount of water left in the system for several months can result in
damage. If you are storing your boat for the winter, it is a good practice to
remove any water in the fuel system.
The Fuel Control Cell can be drained by removing the drain plug at the bottom
of the canister. Loosen the incoming fuel hose to provide an incoming air
source. Clamp the incoming fuel line some way to minimize the amount of fuel
that may drain. Once the canister is drained, coat the threads of the drain plug
with a fuel resistant pipe thread sealer, then replace and tighten the plug.
Reconnect the fuel hose, and tighten the hose clamp. It is imperative that the
threads be sealed properly to avoid a possible fuel leak.
Check your Fuel Control Cell once each year for signs of water in the canister.
If it appears there is an undue amount of water build-up in the canister, see
your Correct Craft Dealer for service.
An empty fuel tank can accumulate water inside by repeated cycles of
condensation on the inner surfaces of the tank. If the fuel tank is kept at about
3/4’s full during storage times, much less water can condense, limiting the
build up of water in the fuel tank.
We recommend filling the tank to 3/4’s full at the most during storage to
eliminate the possibility of fuel expansion caused by temperature changes.
This minimizes overflow of fuel from the fuel vent. Not only can this
overflow be hazardous, but it will also adversely affect decals and pin striping
on the boat.
Always allow room in the tank for fuel expansion caused by temperature
differences. Add a fuel stabilizer that slows down the rate of fuel
