The closed cooling section should be kept filled year-round with an acceptable
antifreeze/coolant solution. Do not drain closed cooled section for storage, as this will
promote rusting of internal surfaces. If engine will be exposed to freezing temperatures,
ensure that the closed cooled section is filled with a properly mixed antifreeze/coolant
solution, to protect engine and closed cooling system to lowest temperature to which they
will be exposed.
NOTE: A 50/50 antifreeze/coolant solution should be used except when operating where
seawater temperatures are greater than 32 degrees C (90 degrees F), then a 25 / 75
(antifreeze / water) solution can be used for improved cooling performance.
IMPORTANT: The antifreeze/coolant used in these marine engines must be a low
silicate ethylene glycol, containing special additives, and deionized, purified water.
Using other types of engine coolant may cause fouling of the heat exchangers, and
overheating of the engine. Do not combine different types of coolants without
knowing that they are compatible. Refer to the coolant manufacturer’s instructions.
Some acceptable types of antifreeze/coolants are listed in the following table. Refer to
Maintenance Schedules for respective change intervals.
