Seasonal Maintenance
Marine Toilet
The marine toilet must be properly winterized by
following the manufacturer’s winterizing instruc-
tions in the marine toilet owner’s manual. Drain
the intake and discharge hoses completely using
low air pressure if necessary. The head hold-
ing tank and overboard discharge pump must
be pumped dry and one gallon of potable water
antifreeze poured into the tank through the deck
waste pump out fitting. After the antifreeze has
been added to the holding tank, open the over-
board discharge valve and activate the overboard
macerator pump until the antifreeze solution is
visible at the discharge thru-hull.
Notice:
Make sure you follow the marine toilet manu-
facturer’s winterizing instructions exactly.
Bilge
Coat all metal components, wire busses and con-
nector plugs in the bilge with a protecting oil. It
is also important to protect all strainers, seacocks
and steering components. The bilge pumps and
bilge pump lines must be completely free of water
and dried out when the boat is laid-up for the win-
ter in climates where freezing occurs. Compart-
ments in the bilge that will not drain completely
should be pumped out and then sponged until
completely free of water. Dry the hull bilge and
self-bailing cockpit troughs. Water freezing in
these areas could cause damage.
Air Conditioners
Disconnect and drain the seawater pump intake
and discharge hoses. Remove all water from the
sea strainer and thru-hull fitting. Blow the water
from the system. Use only very low air pressure
when doing this to prevent possible system dam-
age.
The air conditioner components must be properly
winterized by following winterizing procedure in
the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
Notice:
The air conditioning, marine head and steer-
ing systems have specific lay up require
-
ments. Please refer to their owner’s manuals
for recommended winterizing procedures.
Outboard Engines
The engines should be flushed with fresh water for
at least 15 minutes prior to winter storage. This
will remove salt, sand and other contaminates
that can damage the engine. It is also important
to “Fog” the cylinders, change the gear oil and
change the oil. Coat each engine with a protector,
wax the exterior and properly store and charge the
batteries. You should refer to the engine owner’s
manual or contact your dealer for specific instruc
-
tions on winterizing your engines.
Generator Raw Water System
Drain the sea strainer, heat exchanger and raw
water supply and discharge lines for the genera-
tor seawater supply pump. Make sure all seawa-
ter has drained from the exhaust system. The
generator muffler has a drain plug that must be
removed to properly drain the muffler. Once this
is accomplished, pour a non toxic marine engine
antifreeze mixture into a large pail and put the
seawater intake line into the solution. Run the
generator until the antifreeze solution is visible at
the exhaust port, then shut the engine off. You
should refer to the generator owner’s manual or
contact your dealer for specific instructions on
winterizing your generator.
Notice:
Properly winterize the engines, generator
and fuel system by following the engine man-
ufacturer’s winterizing procedures located in
your engine owner’s manuals or contact an
Everglades dealer.
Hardtop
It is imperative that all drain holes in the legs are
open and that the legs are completely free of wa-
ter. Remove the canvas 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.
Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water
and dry thoroughly. Apply an aluminum metal
protector to the entire frame on anodized alumi-
num to reduce corrosion and pitting. Apply an
automotive or boat wax to powder coated alumi-
num to protect it during storage periods.
