Indmar Marine Engines 7-1
Storage or winter lay-up requires preparation to prevent
damage to the power package. While preparing the
power package for winter lay-up, annual maintenance
tasks should also be performed.
Without proper preparation, storage over a long period of
time may cause internal engine and transmission parts
to rust due to lack of lubrication. Also, if the boat is stored
where the temperature falls below freezing, any water
not drained from the engine may freeze, resulting in
severe damage. Damage that is the result of improper
storage is not covered under terms of Indmar’s limited
warranty.
Because of the complexity of preparing your
engine for winter storage, and the danger of
catastrophic engine damage from freezing
water in the engine, it is recommended that
you have your dealer perform winterization
procedures. Damage due to by improper win-
terization/storage is not covered by product
warranty!
To properly winterize your engine, you MUST be able to
bring the engine up to operating temperature. To accom-
plish this, your boat must be in the water, or be attached
to a water supply using a hose and suitable adapter that
will allow an uninterrupted supply of water to the engine.
