When preparing your boat for winter layup:

• Have it professionally serviced by an authorized boatyard.

• Empty and clean the septic and fresh water tanks. Leave the valves of the seacocks half open.

• If your boat is equipped with a water heater, empty the heater from the drain tap.

• If your boat is equipped with a shower, empty the pumping unit.

• Wash lines with fresh water.

• Remove the drain plugs.

• Charge the boat’s batteries with a shore power charger or remove them for winter storage.

• Empty and clean the refrigerator inside. Turn on the vent function in the door of the refrigerator. Close the door and switch power off from the refrigerator. For more information, refer to the manufacturer´s manual.

• If your boat is equipped with an air conditioning, perform winterization preparations according to the equipment manufacturer's manual. 

If you store your boat outdoors:

• Remove textiles and any equipment that may get damaged in the damp.

• Remove electrical equipment and spray the connections of the electrical wiring with a protective agent.

• Cover the boat so that snow cannot get into the boat. A suitable size for a tarp is 10 X 6 m.
