NOTE: Be sure that hoses will not become entangled in the engine
belt when the engine turns over or the hose and/or the belt will be
damaged.
Step 5
Use duct tape to seal the exhaust flaps to prevent dirt and nesting
rodents from entering.
Step 6
On X26 boats equipped with heads, clean the tanks with a mild
cleaner or warm soapy water that will not harm the finish. Avoid all
petroleum-based household cleaners. Store the head dry and clean.
Failure to do so may cause unnecessary odors and damage to the
tanks, and this is not covered under warranty. If using anti-freeze in
the head, drain the potable water tank and add freshwater anti-
freeze to the potable water tank. Flush the antifreeze and water mix-
ture through the head and into the waste holding tank. Then

PREPARATIONS
Step 1
Remove the bilge drain plug immediately after taking the boat out
of the water. After a general bow-to-stern washing, raise the bow of
the boat higher than the stern to allow as much water as possible to
drain from the bilge, while performing other storage preparations.
Step 2
Thoroughly clean the hull, deck and interior of the boat as soon as it
is removed from the water. Cleaning at this time is easier be- cause
any marine growth is still wet. Be sure to allow a few days of air dry-
ing to prevent mildew that results from trapped moisture. (See the
Cleaning section of this Owners Manual.)
Step 3
Apply a coat of wax to the entire surface of the boat. We suggest
MasterCraft Premium Marine Wax for excellent coverage.
Step 4
If the boat is equipped with a heater, shower or ballast bags/tanks,
be sure to disconnect the hoses and drain any remaining water in
the lines to avoid freezing. Even small amounts of water in any of
these areas can cause significant damage upon freezing, and such
damage is not covered under the warranty!
