Owner`s manual

7.2
If you are storing your boat on a lift, make sure it is support-
ed properly on the bulkheads of the tubes. A bunk type sup-
port should support the entire length of the tubes. A folding
lift type should support the entire length of the deck.
Always store your boat with the bow higher than the stern
to prevent possible damage by way of water freezing in the
nose cone areas.
IMPORTANT: Improper storage of your boat can cause boat
damage that is not covered by the warranty.
RECOMMISSIONING AFTER STORAGE
Fitting out is not difficult if the boat was properly prepared
for storage. Before launching your boat, do not load unneed-
ed equipment or personal items until the launch and final
checkout are complete. For detailed information on recom-
missioning your boat’s systems and equipment, refer to the
Owner’s Manual for each system or component.
