Operation break with the boat in water
If the boat is not used, but left in the water, the engine
must be warmed up at least once every fortnight. This
prevents corrosion damage in the engine.
If you expect the boat to be unused for two months or
more, it must be inhibited, please refer to
Storage, page 75
Operation break with the boat out of water
Where boats are kept laid up on land when not in use,
there is a lower level of galvanic corrosion protection
due to oxidation on the sacrificial anodes. Before
launching the boat the sacrificial anodes on the drive
and shield must be cleaned with emery paper to
remove any oxidation.
If you expect the boat to be unused for two months or
more, it must be inhibited, please refer to
Storage, page 75.
IMPORTANT:
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.
Cold Weather Precautions
If the engine bay cannot be kept frost free, the sea
water system must be drained and the freshwater
system coolant must have sufficient freeze protection
to prevent freeze bursting; refer to
Maintenance, page 58 and Seawater System,
Draining, page 61 respectively for more detailed
information.
Check the charge status of the battery. A poorly-
charged battery can freeze and burst.
