Step 4
Ensure that all drain plugs throughout the boat and drive train have
been reinstalled to avoid unwanted intrusion of water.
Step 5
If applicable, reconnect the hoses to your heater or shower.
Step 6
Check the engine compartment and bilge for signs of nesting ani-
mals. Clean as necessary.
Step 7
Check the entire engine system for fluid, oil and coolant levels. Add
as necessary.
Step 8
Check the entire engine for cracks or leaks caused by freeze damage.
Step 9
Check all hose clamps for tightness. Install the bilge drain plug and
the rear drain plug in boats equipped with certain types of ballast
systems.
Step 10
Grease the propeller shaft taper and install the propeller.
REACTIVATING THE BOAT AFTER
STORAGE
Step 1
Remove the duct tape from the exhaust flaps.
Step 2
Fully charge the battery and install it in the boat, following all safety
precautions associated with changing batteries.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Often, batteries that have been stored over
winter will require recharging. If the battery is charged by utilizing a
battery charger, use only a three-stage or more battery charger. It is
important that the operator never turn a battery charger immediate-
ly to “start,” as the sudden jolt of voltage may cause damage to the
electrical system, particularly control modules for ballast system.
Regardless of whether it is during the reactivation process or at any
time, care should also be used in charging the battery.
Step 3
Follow all instructions for reactivating the drive train as detailed in
the engine owner’s manual.
NOTE: Due to the complex nature of the reactivation process,
MasterCraft recommends having an authorized MasterCraft dealer
perform this function.
