16.4 Winterizing Procedure
(a) Scrub down the bottom to remove any marine growth and grease. Wash down deck and
topsides.
(b) All gear that may be damaged by cold or dampness such as clothing, life jackets, books,
etc. should be removed from the yacht and placed in a warm, dry storage area.
NOTE: Be sure all sails, boom cover, sail sock, etc. are dry before folding carefully and storing
at home. During the winter sails should be taken out and refolded, avoiding previous creases.
(c) Lubricate or cover all exposed mechanical fittings to guard against ice and snow.
(d) Oil all floor boards, drop boards, woodwork and panelling. This will prevent wood from
drying out in severe winter conditions.
(e) Remove screens from opening-ports-~nd replace with.gaskets supplied.
(f) Remove transducers and replace the plugs. (This should be done prior to haul-out,
especially the knot meter transducer.)
(g) Remove all instruments and store at home, if desired, or check all electrical and
mechanical components on boat and remove or replace those needing repair during the winter.
(h) Engines with fresh water cooling will only need to have the raw water cooling side of the
engine winterized.
Open all drain valves as shown on diagram No. 21
Drain raw water strainer through drain plug in bottom, then remove raw water strainer, located
on starboard side of engine compartment and clean screen and interior of strainer. NOTE:
To assist in priming the raw water pump when commissioning in the spring, close raw water
seacock, fill strainer and hoses through top and close-up. On starting engine, open seacock.
Alternate Procedure: Remove the raw water inlet hose from the seacock and place this hose
into a gallon container of 50-50 antifreeze. Start engine and run until the antifreeze comes out
the exhaust outlet. Stop engine, and replace the inlet hose on the seacock and tighten the hose
clamps. Antifreeze is now throughout the raw water cooling system, including the muffler. But
remove raw water pump impeller, rinse in fresh water, and lubricate with teflon grease. Do not
reinstall impeller until commissioning.
(i) Put a wooden plug in the exhaust discharge or plug with an oil soaked rag to eliminate
condensation. - (Ensure removal at spring fit-out.)
