12.1 Engine

Refer to your engine manual for any specific information pertaining to your engine. For the fuel system,

add a fuel stabilizer to a full fuel tank as per the stabilizer’s instructions. Run the engine for a minimum

of 10 minutes to allow the fuel stabilizer to reach the engine.

Wax the engine exterior.

Remove  the  engine  cowl  and  spray  the  engines  powerhead  with  a  non-conductive  lubricant  spray.

Do not spray directly on joints that are lubricated with grease as some lubricant sprays may dissolve

grease.

Grease all external zert fittings on the engine and steering system. Use a grease that is consistent

with  engine  manufacturer’s  recommendations.

Change  the  engine  lower  unit  lubricant.  This  will  remove  contaminants  that  may  have  built  up

throughout  the  boating  season.  This  is  also  a  good  time  to  check  for  lower  unit  seal  problems.

If there is a leak, have it repaired by your dealer.

Remove  the  propeller  and  grease  the  propeller  shaft.  Inspect  the  shaft  and  propeller  for  unusual

wear or signs of deterioration.

Wax the entire boat. The hull will maintain its factory delivered luster much longer if waxed at least

once a season. The inside of the boat, which is subject to the sun’s direct rays, will also respond well

to a good coat of marine wax.

DO NOT WAX the non-skid surfaces.

Remove the hull plug so the sump area can breathe.

Check the wheel bearings for water. Clean and repack/replace as necessary.

Check the tires for proper inflation.

Try to store the boat and trailer with the bow slightly elevated so it will drain.

If possible, cover the boat so that the sun will not deteriorate and tree sap and other environmental

hazards will not damage the deck or upholstery. If covered, make sure to let air circulate so mildew

will not build up. If in a high snow or rain area, make sure to properly support the cover to sustain

and shed the load.
