Laying-up
If the boat is unlikely to be used for more than 90
days, or if there is a risk of frost, it must be put into
storage.
Long-term laying-up during the winter.
Let an authorized workshop test the engine and
equipment before the boat is taken out of the water.
Do the following while the boat is in the water:
❑ Drain the engine oil once the engine is at normal
operating temperature.
❑ Change the oil filter.
❑ Fill with engine oil to the correct level. See Tech-
nical Data.
Do the following with the boat laid up:
❑ Change the fuel filter.
❑ Bleed the fuel system.
❑ Change the air filter.
Seawater system
Flush the seawater system by placing one end of a
suction hose from the pump into a bucket of fresh
water. Arrange so that it can be refilled, then start
the engine and let it idle for a while. It is very impor-
tant to flush out any deposits and to avoid any salt
crystals being formed. CAUTION! Do not allow the
pump to run dry. To avoid corrosion damage in the
cooling water channels, these must be filled with a
mixture of 50/50 fresh water and anti-corrosion gly-
col, or a mixture of fresh water and emulsifying oil.
The latter mixture does not provide any frost pro-
tection and must therefore be drained directly.
The procedure is as follows for both mixtures:
Place the end of the suction hose in a bucket con-
taining the mixture. Provide a collection vessel to
return mixture to the bucket. Make sure nothing is
splashed. Run the engine for a few minutes.
CAUTION! Do not let the pump run dry. The anti-
freeze mixture need not be drained until shortly be-
fore setting the boat back in the water. The seawa-
ter system is drained at the drainage points shown;
in the case of the KAD/KAMD 42 also through the
hose marked in blue.
NOTE! Do not run the remaining mixture out
into the sea!
Disassemble the pump impeller for winter storage in
a cool place.
Freshwater system
Inhibiting can be done in two ways:
Option 1. Check the freezing point if the system is
filled with an antifreeze mixture.
Option 2. If the system is filled with a corrosion-pro-
tection mixture, it must be replaced once every
season.
CAUTION! The latter mixture (option 2) does not
provide frost protection.
Laying-up
Drain points: exhaust manifold (2), heat exchanger
(3) and engine block (1) (KAD42: through the hose
not marked blue (4). The system can be left empty
during the winter but do not forget to refill it before
putting the boat back into the water.
