Laying Up; Protection And Maintenance - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40 User Manual

There are two winter precautions procedures:

1- LAYING UP

Take ashore all ship's documents, loose ropes not used for mooring, galley equipment,
stores, clothes, safety equipment, battery.
Mark up the safety equipment and check the expire dates; obtain immediate overhaul of
the raft (Easter is the deadline after which it will be too late!).
Draw up a complete inventory of the ship's equipment.

2- PROTECTION AND MAINTENANCE

INSIDE:
- Drain all fresh water pipes and rinse with a solution of vinegar and water (don't
use clorine-based products) or protect the pipes with food-grade anti-freeze,
- Lubricate and shut all sea water valves and sea-cocks, rinse and drain the closets
in full,
- Retract the loch and speedometer heads, seal-off air inlets and install a de
hydrator in the saloon and leave all doors open (cabins, lockers, wardrobes,
iceboxes),
- Leave the cushions in the outside for a long time and re-install in the boat in
upright position to limitate contact surfaces.
OUTSIDE:
- Rinse liberally the hull, deck, lubricate all mobile and mechanical components
with petroleum jelly (locks, hinges, bolts, etc.),
- Protect all surfaces from chafing ropes, mooring lines ,
- Protect the boat with fenders and ensure that the lines are taut.
The above hints are not a comprehensive check-list; your Jeanneau agent will be able to
advise you and take care of the boat maintenance.
