EXTENDED STORAGE
If you must store your boat for an extended period of
time (more than normal off-season storage), additional
procedures are required. The procedures for preparing
for extended storage and re-commissioning after
extended storage are best accomplished by an
authorized Indmar dealer.
1. Follow the normal procedures for off-season storage.
2. Disconnect the propeller shaft from the output shaft
coupling on the transmission.
Re-commissioning
1. Follow the normal procedures for re-commissioning
after off-season storage.
2. Check the propshaft to transmission coupler align-
ment. Adjust as necessary. Connect the propshaft
and transmission coupler.
3. Remove and clean the fuel injectors and flush the
entire fuel system.
4. Install a new fuel filter.
5. Change all of the engine fluids and lubricants. Install
a new oil filter.
6. Install a new raw water pump impeller.
7. Check all belts and hoses for cracks and wear.
Replace as needed.
8. Install new spark plugs. Check the wires for cracks
and damage.
9. Charge the battery and check battery connections to
make sure they are clean and tight.
10. Put fresh gasoline in the fuel tank. Cycle the key
switch several times to make sure the fuel system
is full and primed. Install an appropriate tester and
verify the fuel pressure is at specification.
11. Apply water to the engine’s cooling system and start
the engine. While the engine is warming up, check
for leaks and smooth engine operation. Monitor the
fuel pressure to make sure it stays in specification.
12. Put the boat in the water and operate it at various
RPM. Monitor the engine temperature, oil pressure,
charging voltage and fuel pressure to make sure all
stay within specification. Check the various engine
operating parameters with a diagnostic scan tool to
make sure all parameters are within specification.
