When the boating and ski season comes to a close, it is

important to have your boat professionally winterized.

If your boat is exposed to temperatures below 32 degrees F

(0 degrees C) it is possible for water in the engine, ballast

system, heater core, etc., to freeze. As this water freezes, it

expands and can crack pumps, valves, heat exchangers,

engine blocks, etc. This type of damage usually requires the

replacement of the cracked item and can be very expensive

to repair.

It is extremely important to follow the proper winterizing

procedure. The engine must be correctly winterized for

safe storage in your climate. This should be done by a

professional. Your Moomba dealer will know exactly

what must be done to ensure the longest possible life

for your boat.

In addition to having your boat professionally

winterized, the following tasks should be done to

protect your boat during storage:

1.Remove the center drain plug from the boat.

2.Thoroughly clean the boat inside and out. Inspect the hull

for any residue or algae growth and remove if required.

3.Clean the bilge area thoroughly and operate the bilge pump

to remove any water from the bilge hose.

4.Remove all seat cushions and open all storage areas to

allow air circulation in the boat interior. When thoroughly

dry, replace cushions and close storage areas.

5.Top off fuel tank to prevent any condensation from

accumulating in the fuel system. Use a commercially

available fuel stabilizer to remove water and prevent

gumming.

6.If the boat is stored on its trailer, ensure that the boat is

properly positioned. If possible, lift the tongue so that

the bow is slightly raised to promote drainage from the

drain hole.

7.Install the canvas cover and secure the straps in

accordance with cover instructions.

NOTE: During the winter months, water is a boat’s worst

enemy. Always store the boat when the interior is

completely dry. Periodically check on the condition of

the stored boat.

Damage due to improper winterization IS NOT covered

under your boat’s warranty.

Section XII

Winterization & Dry Storage

Before using the boat after it has been in dry storage

requires some special treatment. Moomba recommends

having your boat professionally summerized, preferably

by the same facility that prepped it for storage. They will

be familiar with what items were done in the fall and what

items need to be addressed in the spring.

In addition to having your boat professionally

summerized, the following list of tasks should be done

to ensure a successful start to your boating season.

When launching the boat for the first time of the season,

carefully watch all gauges to ensure that the boat is not

overheating, the alternator is charging and the engine has

proper oil pressure.
