Storage
Laying Up (Winterization)
Be sure that your Volvo Penta equipment is properly
prepared for long or short term storage. Engine or drive
damage can result if some simple maintenance steps
are overlooked prior to storage. Winterizing gives you
the assurance that your engine will be protected during
storage and will run more reliably when you put your
boat back in the water.
For long term storage, we recommend that you have
your Volvo Penta dealer “winterize” your engine and
drive. Your dealer will provide the proper servicing and
maintenance to ensure that your equipment is treated
and stored properly.
Short Term Storage
Overnight or up to two months:
Flush engine with fresh water.
Raw Water Cooled Engines Only: Drain
raw water from manifolds and engine block.
See information on draining the engine in the
section entitled Engine Shutdown: Draining
Raw Water Cooled Engines.
Closed Cooing Engines Only: Drain raw
water from manifolds. Do not drain the
engine block! See information on draining
the engine in the section entitled Engine Shut-
down: Draining Raw Water Side of Closed
Cooling System Engines.

turer.
