The boat should be drained of water, stored on a stable base and preferably covered.Drain the innerliner through the drainage plug in the transom. All drainage holes should be cleaned regularly to keep them from fouling. Drain the inne hull through the brass drainage plug by back of the keel. When storing the boat ashore, the draining valves in the transom need to be open. Be sure the aft part of the boat is the lower point to drain the floor completely. Do not store your watercraft sideways or on small, concentrated points. Avoid any concentrated support points. It is important that the watercraft is longitudinal supported all the way along the hull when stored and that the support is evenly distributed along the entire hull. It is recommended to store the boat on a boat trailer especially adapted to Steady boats and the specific boat model. Alternatively, a customized crib/device/etc. which satisfies the above-mentioned criteria may be used. Any winch must be regularly lubricated using penetrating oil, and operation rope must be regularly checked for wear during the year. If the watercraft has a bowport, it must always be stored with the bow port closed.
