When storing your boat, be 6ure to support the critical areas of the hull including the bulkhead, keel and motor. Cover boats to protect the gel coat, woodwork, metal and vinyL Add a fuel stabilizer to gasoline or diesel fueL Change engine oil to elimi- nate residual adds and moisture in the crankcase. Use non-toxi- c, environmentally friendly antifreeze to prevent freezing and corrosion in raw water cooling systems. If you have a battery on board to power a security system or bilge pump, make sure cells are filled with distilled water and fully charged. Clean the terminals with baking soda and apply a coat of petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. Inspect trailers annually and check key components more fr equently if the trailer is used often or spends many hours traveling on bumpy roads. Purchase and use an anti-the- ft device for your trailer or remove tires to discourage theft. Check frame for loose bolts and rust. If the trailer has brakes, make sure they are operating properly. Maintain proper tire pressure and inspect the treads and sidew'alls for wear. All lights should burn brightly, check turn signals. Inspect the hitch, coupler and ball. Make sure the vehicle and trailer are level. A car or truck that has too much or too little weight at the hitch will be difficult to control. You may call for further information. 801-538-72- 501 Levis Shrink-to-Fi- t $2222 Pair 20 Football Contest Winner week 8 Doyle Swallow (I) receives a $25 gift certificate from Demy's Wigwam manager Tony Wright (r) for winning the S.
