a. fuel sYsTeM
Check the entire fuel system for loose connections,
worn hoses, leaks, etc. and repair. This is a primary
safety precaution.
Check fuel lines for damage and make sure that they
do not come in contact with any moving parts.
b. baTTerY(ies)
Before installing the batteries, clean the terminal
posts with a wire brush or steel wool and then attach
the cables. After the cable clamps are tightened,
smear the post and clamps with vaseline or grease
to exclude air and acid. Do not apply grease before
attaching and tightening the terminal clamps.
Examine all wiring.
Keep under a trickle charge.
When placing battery back into service, remove
excess grease from terminals, recharge as
necessary and reinstall in boat.
D. heaD sYsTeM
Flush entire system thoroughly with fresh
water.
usinG nonToxic WinTerizinG anTifreeze:
Purchase a nontoxic winterizing antifreeze for
fresh water systems from a marine or RV supply
retailer.
With all water pumped out of the system add
nontoxic antifreeze to the water tank. Pour in
enough to be pumped to the shower.
Turn on water system.
Open shower. Close when nontoxic antifreeze
comes out.
After shower has been treated, open and pump
out remaining nontoxic antifreeze.
e. fuel sYsTeMs
Gasoline:
Fill fuel tank with gasoline and the recommended
amount of stabilizer and conditioner such as
“Stabil
®
”.
Run engine(s) for ten minutes to ensure that
all gasoline in the carburetor and fuel lines are
treated.
Diesel
Fill fuel tank with diesel and recommended
amount of biocide, “Biobor®”, which prevents
bacteria and fungi from contaminating diesel
fuel that contains some water.
Do not overll. Filling a tank until the fuel ows from
vents is dangerous. Allow room for expansion.
! CAUTION
Diesel fuel should also get a petroleum distillate
additive, such as “Stabil
®
” or Racor
®
RX100”.
This will absorb water in the fuel and prevent
freezing problems.
Run engine(s) for ten minutes to ensure that all
diesel fuel in injectors and fuel lines is treated.
