•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.

•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.
•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.

5.Fitting Out After Storage
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.
