Before operating or maintaining the engine, review “Safety” on
page 1-1.
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.
NOTICE
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 improper
winterization/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 accomplish 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.
NOTICE
This procedure covers only the power package portion of your
boat. Consult your boat owner’s manual or boat manufacturer for
specific boat winterizing instructions.
When covering boat for the winter the engine room vents should
remain open to the atmosphere to minimize condensation and
corrosion in the engine compartment.
