C 230

basket drains should be checked and clear of debris. Remove the tower sun shade, if installed, the belly band

or other upholstery and thoroughly clean and store in a safe, dry place. Remove all electronics. Coat all wire

connectors and bus bars in the helm compartment with a protecting oil. Cover the tower basket with a tarp

and secure it properly.

Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water and dry thoroughly. Apply an aluminum metal protector to

the entire frame to reduce corrosion and pitting.

COVERING FOR WINTER STORAGE

If the boat will be in outside storage, properly support a storage cover and secure it over the boat. It is best

to have a frame built over the boat to support the canvas. It should be a few inches wider than the boat so the

canvas will clear the rails and allow passage of air. If this cover is fastened too tightly there will be inadequate

ventilation and this can lead to mildew, moisture accumulation, etc. It is essential to fasten the canvas down

securely so that the winds cannot remove it or cause chafing of the hull superstructure. Do not store the boat

in a damp storage enclosure. Excessive dampness can cause electrical problems, corrosion, and excessive

mildew.

Whenever possible, do not use the Bimini top or convertible top canvas in place of the winter storage cover.

The life of these canvases may be significantly shortened if exposed to harsh weather elements for long

periods.

PLACING AN ELECTRIC OR FUEL BURNING HEATING UNIT IN THE BILGE AREA CAN BE

POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

Proper storage is very important to prevent serious damage to the boat. If the boat is to be stored indoors, make

sure the building has enough ventilation. It is very important that there is enough ventilation both inside the

boat and around the boat. If the boat is to be stored indoors or outdoors, open all drawers, clothes lockers,

cabinets, and doors a little. If possible, remove the upholstery, mattresses, clothing, and rugs. Then hang a

commercially available mildew protector in the cabin.

DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FAS-
