Cold weather precautions
If the engine bay can not be kept frost-free, the sea-
water system must be drained and the freshwater sys-
tem coolant must have enough anti-freeze to prevent
frost damage. Please refer to the “Seawater system”
and “Freshwater system” maintenance chapters.
WARNING! If the engine bay can not be kept
frost-free, the seawater system must be drained.
Frost damage in the seawater system can make
the boat sink.
IMPORTANT! If the coolant does not have suffi-
cient frost protection, this can cause expensive
engine damage. Check the battery charge. A
poorly charged battery can freeze and burst.
Laying up
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.
IMPORTANT! If you expect the boat to be unu-
sed for two months or more, it must be laid up:
Please refer to the Laying up chapter.
