Laying up/Launching
Before taking the boat out of the water for winter/out-of-season storage have an authorized Volvo Penta work-
shop inspect the engine and other equipment. Have any necessary repairs or service work carried out so that
your boat is in top condition for the new season.
Inhibition should be carried out to ensure that the engine and transmission are not damaged while out of com-
mission during the winter/off-season. It is important this is done properly and than nothing is forgotten. We have
therefore provided a checklist covering the most important points.
WARNING!
Read the chapter on Maintenance carefully before starting work. It contains instructions on
how to carry out the most common maintenance and service operations safely and correctly.
Inhibiting
The following are best carried out with the boat
in the water:
●
Change engine oil and replace oil filter.
●
Replace fuel filter. Replace fuel pre-filter if in-
stalled.
●
Run engine to normal operating temperature.
The following should be carried out with the boat
out of the water:
●
Clean the hull and drive-unit directly after taking
up the boat (before it dries).
●
Change oil in drive-unit and replace oil filter.
IMPORTANT!
Be careful when cleaning with
a high pressure water spray. The spray must
not be pointed toward the propeller shaft seal,
hoses etc.
●
Clean the seawater filter.
●
Clean and inhibit the seawater system.
●
Remove the impeller from the seawater pump.
Store the impeller in a sealed plastic bag in a
cool place.
●
Check the condition of the engine coolant anti-
freeze. Top up if required.
●
Drain any water and contaminants from the fuel
tank. Fill the tank completely with fuel to avoid
condensation.
●
Clean the outside of the engine. Do not use a high
pressure spray to clean the engine. Touch up any
damaged areas of paintwork with Volvo Penta
original paint.
●
Clean the outside of the drive-unit. Do not use a
high pressure spray to clean the drive-unit. Repair
any damaged areas of the drive-unit antifouling
coating, please refer to “Repairing the drive-unit
antifouling coating”.
●
Disconnect battery leads. Clean and charge the
batteries.
NOTE!
A poorly charged battery may
burst as a result of freezing.
●
Spray electrical system components with moisture
repellent spray.
●
Remove propeller for winter storage. Grease the
propeller shaft using water repellent grease VPnr.
828250.
●
Check anodes on both engine and drive-unit. Re-
place with new anodes when approximately 1/3
of the anode has been eroded. Tighten the new
anode so that there is a good electrical contact.
