Laying up on land
Where boats are kept laid up on land when not in use, for
example, trailer boats, 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-unit must be cleaned with emery paper to re-
move any oxidation.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a wire brush or other steel
tools when cleaning, as these may damage the gal-
vanic protection.
Cold weather precautions
To prevent freezing damage, the seawater system must
be drained and the freshwater system coolant must have
sufficient antifreeze protection. Refer to the cooling system
section in chapter “Maintenance”.
IMPORTANT! A poorly charged battery may burst as
a result of freezing.
