Winterization

NOTICE! Do not cover the boat until it is completely dry. Covering it while wet may cause mildew growth and water stains.

Perform these tasks in preparation for winterization:

• Clean the deck and cabin.
• Clean the hull.
• Clean the foil system.
• Empty the boat of water:
  • Run the automatic bilge pumps.
  • Manually pump out water from the keel.
  • Empty the black water tank.
  • Empty the freshwater tank.
  • Empty the freshwater filter.
  • Drain the anchor box.
• Check the coolant level.
• Add corrosion protection on non-stainless steel metal parts.
• Leave the seat belts in the unlocked position, to prevent corrosion.
• Remove cushions and other textiles, to prevent them from molding.
• Prepare the high-voltage battery for storage.
• Cover the boat.

Preparing the high-voltage battery for storage

When the boat is not used for a long period, such as during winter storage, follow these steps to minimize battery aging:

Temperature recommendation

Storage temperature -20 to 30 °C (-4 to 68 °F)

To prepare the battery for storage:

1. Charge the battery to 100%.
2. Use the boat until the battery’s state of charge is between 30 to 35%.
3. Turn off the ignition key.
4. Turn off the main switch.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 every 6 months to maintain optimal charge
