Proper preparation and care during the winter months ensure that the weather conditions and non usage of the boat do minimum harm to your boat’s vital equipment. Due to the inability to periodically start the engines in the winter period, for boats on land it is necessary to conserve the engines to ensure greasing of the vital parts and to protect them from the effects of low temperatures. Although they stand still, the batteries lose their capacity faster at low temperatures. By regularly charging and checking the batteries you can prevent their self-discharging to the level of damaging them and prolong their service life as well.
By regularly checking the bilge it is possible to timely establish any water penetration and in this way prevent the destruction of equipment and sinking of the boat. If a valve remains in one position for a longer period of time it may come to accumulation of scale and blocking of the valve. In case of water penetration it will not be possible to close such a valve. By periodically opening and closing the valves accumulation of scale and blockage of the valves can be prevented. Regular starting of engines / generators on boats that remain still for a longer period of time can considerably help to maintain the vital parts greased and to minimize the influence of humidity / condensates.
All these reduces the chance of engine failure when you want to set sail and start your most deserved vacation. Be sure to order and arrange for all necessary repairs in due time, asquick interventions are not always possible at a later time.
