18. Maintenance
ENG
In order to keep your engine running efficiently it will need to be serviced at regular intervals. Keep an
engine logbook with maintenance record. The logbook can be used to record drift hours, oil changes,
service and checking procedures, repairs and fuel refills. Follow the service instructions in the
handbook exactly. If you do not have a service handbook for the engine, you can obtain one from the
manufacturer or importer.
During the boating season the manufacturer of the engine recommends that the following services be
carried out:
- change of oil
- check the amount of oil before leaving
- grease all grease spots
- check the functioning of the cooling system
- check the functioning of the fuel system
- clean the sediment bowls in the fuel tanks and carburator
- change or clean the filter
- check electrical equipment, grease and clean fittings
- check the battery water
- check the outside of the engine.
If faults develop despite these maintenance operations, contact the vendor, manufacturer, importer or a
service provider immediately.
Familiarise yourself with the service procedures specified in the owner's engine handbook.
If the engine has no faults, you can carry out winter maintenance yourself. Especially when storing an
inboard engine, there is a risk of freezing. Careful checking over the winter period, servicing and
repairs, together with the correct use of the engine, ensure a flawless condition of the engine for years
ahead. If all the procedures have been carried out properly, you will be able to start up the engine in
the beginning of the season without delays.
Remember regular service schedules!
The bigger the boat, the more time and effort required to ensure the proper winter maintenance of your
boat. The boat has to be supported so that the hull is not damaged by its own weight. The boat must
be covered carefully, the cover allowing the free flow of air. Do not fix the cover onto the hull. The
canopy should be steep enough to allow snow to run off.
Changes of weather can damage the surface of the boat. When freezing, water expands and could
damage the engine, reinforced plastic and wooden parts. Make sure the boat is properly ventilated
over the winter. Check out the condition of the boat throughout the winter period.

18.4 Actions before winterizing
If frost is likely, drain the engine cooling water as specified in the owner's handbook. Also drain the
fresh water tank, hot water boiler, toilet and septic tank.
Lift your Bella out of the water in good time before it ices over. The craft must not be left in an icy
environment.
