OS 315

resulting from improper cradle or trailer

support is not covered by the Pursuit

warranty.

Preparing The Boat For Storage:

• Remove the bilge drain plug(s), if

installed.

• Thoroughly wash fiberglass exterior,

especially the antifouling portion of the

bottom. Remove as much marine growth

as possible. Lightly wax the exterior

fiberglass components.

• Remove all oxidation from the exterior

hardware and apply a light film of mois-

ture displacing lubricant.

• Remove propellers and grease the pro-

peller shafts using light waterproof

grease.

• Remove batteries and clean using clear,

clean water. Make sure batteries have

sufficient water and terminals are clean.

Keep the batteries charged and stored in

a cool, dry place and safe from freezing

throughout the storage period.

• Refer to the Electrical System for infor-

mation on the maintenance of the AC

and DC electrical systems.

• Coat all faucets and exposed electrical

components in the cabin and cockpit

with a protecting oil.

• Clean, drain and completely dry the fish-

boxes, sinks and livewells.

• Thoroughly clean the interior of the boat;

vacuum all carpets and dry clean drapes

and upholstery.

• Remove cushions, open the refrigerator/

cooler door and as many locker doors as

possible. Leaving as many of these

areas open as possible will improve

fresh air ventilation during the storage

period.

• Place a mildew preventive system in the

cabin area 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 a disinfectant.

12.2 Winterizing

Fresh Water System

The entire fresh water system must be com-

pletely drained. Disconnect all hoses, check

valves, etc. and blow all the water from the

system. Make sure the water heater and

fresh water tank are completely drained. Use

very low air pressure only when blowing

water from the system to prevent damage to

components. The check valve mechanism

built in the fresh water pump will not remove

the water from the pump. Remove the outlet

hose on the pump, turn it on and allow it to

pump out any remaining water, approxi-

mately a cupful.

An alternate method is to use commercially

available nontoxic, fresh water system anti-

freeze. After draining the potable water tank,

lines and water heater, pour the antifreeze

mixture into the fresh water tank, prime and

operate the pump until the mixture flows

from all fresh water faucets. Be sure to open

ALL faucets, including the fresh water spray

head in the stern bait station sink and the

water supply valve for the head. Make sure

antifreeze has flowed through all of the fresh

water drains. Allow the antifreeze to fill the

sink traps to trap odors from the waste tank.

The shower/cabin drain sump system must

be winterized also. Clean debris from the

drain and sump and flush for several min-

utes with fresh clean water. After the system

is clean, pump the drain sump as dry as pos-

sible. Then pour a potable water antifreeze

mixture into the shower drain until antifreeze

has been pumped through the entire system

and out of the thru-hull.

For additional information, refer to Plumbing

Systems.

Raw Water System

Drain the raw water systems completely.

Disconnect all hoses and blow the water

from the system. Use very low air pressure

only when blowing water from the system to

prevent damage to components. The check

valve mechanism built in the raw water
