After Engine Shutdown
•
Check the engine and engine bay for leakages.
•
Close the fuel tap.
•
Close the sea cock where fitted.
•
Boats with stern drives: Trim the stern drive down to
maximum to protect the trim ram piston's untreated
surfaces from fouling.
If there is a risk of the boat striking bottom with the
stern drive, the drive must instead be trimmed up to
the maximum lift position.
•
Turn off the main power switch before any long
stoppage.
NOTICE! Do not turn off the main power switch
within 15 seconds after turning off the ignition. This
in order to save engine data to the engine control
unit.
NOTICE! Depending on the model and setup, there
could be more than one switch.
Operation Break
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 138.
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 138.
IMPORTANT:
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.
