displacing lubricant.

• Remove propellers and grease the propeller shafts using light waterproof grease.

batteries have sufficient water and clean terminals. Keep the batteries charged and safe from

freezing throughout the storage period.

Note: Refer to the Electrical System Chapter, for information on the maintenance of the

AC and DC electrical systems.

Note: It is recommended that a mildew preventer be hung in the boat’s cabin before it is

closed for storage.

• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good vinyl cleaner and dry thoroughly. Spray the

weather covers and boat upholstery with a spray disinfectant. Enclosed areas such as the

refrigerator, shower basin, storage locker areas, etc. should also be sprayed with this

disinfectant.
