this is the antithesis of the winterization thread posts here every Fall. Many of us Summer -ize as it’s not uncommon for our boat to sit for a while during lightning season. It’s a little more complicated than putting her to bed up north as we can use the boat for various reasons and durations depending on weather so removing batteries, draining tanks, topping off etc... isn’t practical or needed.
So what, if anything, do folks do?
I make sure the A/C is tested and all plumbing lines clean, teak and acrylic covered, sails cleaned and rigging tensioned, deck and topsides waxed and a removable 0/0 cable from mast to ground (water). We also have a Siemens surge protector on the power panel on the dock. Summer here seriously interferes with sailing and golf.
