• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good vinyl cleaner and dry thoroughly. Spray the
weather covers and boat upholstery with a spray disinfectant. Enclosed areas such as the
shower basin, storage locker areas, etc. should also be sprayed with this disinfectant.
14.2 Winterizing
Freshwater System
The entire freshwater system must be completely drained. Disconnect all hoses, check valves,
etc. and blow all the water from the system. Make sure the water heater and freshwater tank are
completely drained. Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system
damage. Because of the check valve mechanism built in the pump, blowing the lines will not
remove the water from the freshwater pump. Remove the outlet hose on the pump. Turn the
pump on and allow it to pump out any remaining water....about a cupful.
A recommended alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use of commercially
available non-toxic, freshwater system antifreeze. After draining the potable water tank, lines
and water heater, pour the antifreeze mixture into the freshwater tank, prime and operate the
pump until the mixture flows from all freshwater faucets. Be sure to open all hot and cold water
faucets, including the freshwater spray head in the stern bait station sink and the water supply
valve for the head. Make sure antifreeze has flowed through all of the freshwater drains.
The shower drain sump system must be properly winterized. Clean debris from the drain and
sump and flush for several minutes with fresh clean water. After the system is clean, pump the
drain sump as dry as possible. Then pour a potable water antifreeze mixture into the shower drain
until antifreeze has been pumped through the entire system and out of the thru hull.
For additional information please refer to the Freshwater System chapter.
Raw Water System
Completely drain the raw water systems. Disconnect all hoses and blow the water from the
system. Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage.
Because of the check valve mechanism built in the raw water washdown pump, blowing the lines
will not remove the water from the raw water pump. Remove the inlet and outlet hoses on the
pump. Turn the pump on and allow it to pump out any remaining water....about a cupful.
A recommended alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use of commercially
available non-toxic, potable water system antifreeze. If potable water antifreeze is used, pour
the mixture into a pail and put the raw water intake lines into the solution. Run the pumps one
at a time until the antifreeze solution is visible at all raw water faucets and discharge fittings and
drains. Be sure antifreeze has flowed through all of the raw water drains.
Make sure to run the stern fishbox macerator pump until all the water is removed from the fishbox
and the pump. To avoid damage to the pump, be careful not to run the pump dry for more than
10 seconds.
