BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS, LIFTS AND CRADLES THAT DON’T PROP-
ERLY SUPPORT THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BUNKS AND ROLLERS ARE
ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES AND
ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING
FROM IMPROPER CRADLE OR TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PUR-
SUIT WARRANTY.
Preparing The Boat For Storage
• Remove the bilge drain plug(s), if installed.
• Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior, especially the antifouling portion of the bottom. Remove as
much marine growth as possible. Lightly wax the exterior fiberglass components.
• Remove all oxidation from the exterior hardware, and apply a light film of moisture displacing lubricant.
• Remove propellers and grease the propeller shafts using light waterproof grease.
• Remove the batteries and store in a cool place. Clean using clear, clean water. Be sure the batteries have
sufficient water and clean terminals. Keep the batteries charged and safe from freezing throughout the
storage period.
• Refer to the Electrical System chapter, for information on the maintenance of the AC and DC electrical
systems.
• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical components in the cabin and cockpit with a protecting oil.
• Clean out, totally drain and completely dry the fishboxes, sinks and livewells.
• Thoroughly clean the interior of the boat. Vacuum all carpets and dry clean drapes and upholstery.
• Remove cushions, open the refrigerator door and as many locker doors as possible. Leaving as many of
these areas open as possible will improve the boat’s ventilation during the storage period.
• It is recommended that a mildew preventer be hung in the boat’s cabin before it is closed for storage.
• 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 refrigerator, shower basin,
storage locker areas, etc. also should be sprayed with this disinfectant.
