• Drain all the remaining seawater from the cooling
system, (heat exchanger, charge air cooler,
impeller pump, hoses containing sea water).
• Remove the impeller from the seawater pump.
Store the impeller in a sealed plastic bag and keep
it cool.
• Disconnect the battery cables; clean and charge
the batteries.
An insufficiently charged battery can freeze and
burst if stored at freezing temperatures.
• For cleaning the engine and transmission, see the
next section.
• Touch up any paint damage with Volvo Penta
original paint or paint of the same quality.
• If necessary, cover the engine, air intake and
exhaust pipe.
• Always ensure good ventilation in the engine
compartment in order to prevent the formation of
mold and corrosion (if possible, leave hatches
open).
After storage
• Replace filters before starting the engine. Keep
extra filters available as FAME may cause
microbial growth that blocks the fuel filter.
