STORAGE/WINTERIZATION
engine oil into the intake pipe or
manifold while engine is turning.
DO NOT USE
the starter to turn en-
gine or serious engine damage may
result.
6. Tape the openings of the intake
and exhaust manifolds with duct tape
to help prevent corrosion of the up-
per cylinder during lay-up.
7. Scrape all rust or corrosion from
exposed metal parts and surfaces.
Scrub all metal surfaces with deter-
gent and rinse thoroughly. Paint any
bare metal.
8. Place a dust cover over engine.
Do not leave engine exposed to rain
and sea breeze.
9. Disconnect the battery cables;
remove the battery from the boat.
Clean the terminal ends and battery
with a solution of baking soda and
water and rinse thoroughly with
clean water. Apply a light coat of
grease on the terminal end of the
battery and cables. Store the battery
in a cool dry place. Use a trickle
charger to keep battery charged. Do
not charge battery near any open
flame or in a confined area.
CAUTION: Wear safety goggles
and rubber gloves to protect your
eyes and skin.
DEPARTURE FROM THE BOAT
The check list for leaving a boat un-
attended is very important because
items overlooked often will not be
remembered until you are far from
the boat and corrective actions are
impractical or impossible.
Primary choices for this list are items
relating to the safety and security of
the unattended craft: turning off fuel
valves, properly setting electrical
switches, pumping out bilge and
leaving the switch on automatic (or
arrange for periodic pumping out).
It
is recommended that the power
be turned off when leaving the
boat.
Other departure checklist
items are securing ports, windows,
hatches and doors.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance checklists
should include items based on how
much the boat is used (usually in
terms of engine hours) and on cal-
endar dates (weekly, monthly or
seasonal checks). Typical of the
former are oil level checks and
changes, and oil and fuel filter
changes.
On a calendar basis the lists should
note such matters as electrolyte lev-
els in storage batteries, pressure
gauges on dry chemical fire extin-
guishers, and all navigation lights.
Check the operation of automatic
bilge alarms or pump switches by
running water into the boat. Periodi-
cally close and open
sea cocks several times to ensure
their free and easy operation in case
they are needed in an emergency.
Equipment and supplies carried on
board for emergencies should be in-
spected for any signs of deteriora-
tion.
