Section 8
STORAGE AND
WINTERIZATION
A
WARNING!
Always follow the boat manufacturer’s instructions
on how to properly winterize the fuel tank prior to storage. Leaking
of fuel into the boat and potentially into the storage area could
result in substantial damage to the boat, and contact with any
spark (such as a flame-producing pilot light in a heater) could also
result in property damage and serious injury or death.
Proper storage and/or winterization preparations are just as important
as how a drive train is maintained in use. Since special preparations
are necessary, the boat owner should have the work done by an
authorized Ilmor High-Performance Marine service center. Damage that
occurs from improper storage and/or winterization is not covered under
warranty and must be avoided.
Engine winterization requires changing the engine oil/filter, draining all
raw water from the cooling system and adding marine/RV antifreeze to all
raw water engine components.
NOTICE: Always perform the proper storage procedures when
storing the boat. Extended storage with fuel in the system can
affect fuel stability and may require system inspection and fuel filter
replacement when the boat returns to service. Fuel systems on all
boats equipped with Ilmor High-Performance Marine engines MUST
be properly prepared for storage periods exceeding 30 days. Owners
are encouraged to seek assistance from an authorized Ilmor High-
Performance Marine service center to properly prepare the drive train
for periods of inactivity exceeding one month. Damage due to improper
storage and/or winterization preparations is not covered under warranty.
