If you expect the boat to be unused for two months or
more, it must be laid up, please refer to Short Term
Storage.
IMPORTANT!
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.
Cold Weather Precautions
If the engine bay cannot be kept frost free, the raw
water system must be drained and the freshwater sys-
tem coolant must have sufficient frost protection to
prevent frost bursting; refer to the sections Seawater
System, Draining page 75 and Mainte-
nance page 70 respectively for more detailed infor-
mation.
Check the charge status of the battery. A poorly-
charged battery can freeze and burst.
