< Prepare your engine for storage. For more information, review your
engine owner’s manual.
< Store the boat in a dry, clean area. Store indoors if possible.
< Cover your boat with shrink-wrap during storage to help keep it
clean for future use. Note that the mooring cover is not made for
winter storage. Do not allow excessive ice or snow to build up on the
shrink-wrap.
< If you store your boat on a trailer, position the trailer on blocks to
keep its wheels off the ground. This helps avoid tire deterioration.
Note: When winterizing a V-Toon, check the sealed transom for
water by opening the access plate. If water is present, remove the
drain plug located at the bottom rear of the center tube and let the
water drain out. Then coat the drain plug with a thread sealant, and
replace it.
Note: If a significant amount of water was present, consult your
dealer to determine its cause.
Blocking
If you will be placing your Manitou on blocks for storage, it is important
to place the blocks under the most structurally sound areas of the
pontoon. The diagrams on the next page illustrate these locations for
two- and three-pontoon hulls. Ensure that the boat’s weight is evenly
distributed between the blocks.
Note: The boat should only be lifted vertically from the bow and
stern mooring eyes. Do not lift with the straps at an angle—the straps
must lift the boat directly from above.
