Procedure
for
engines_______________________
The following winterisation procedures should be carried out on all yachts when
laid up.
1 Run engine with coolant water mixed with antifreeze. Stop engine and drain
completely. This must be carried out afloat. If carried out ashore, the vibration
may cause damage.
2 Where engine are head exchanger cooled, antifreeze should be added to
closed circuit system to manufacturer's recommendation. On yachts destined
for shipment, water should be drained off.
3 Disconnect exhaust tubing from engine. Tape over exhaust outlet on engine.
4 Remove air cleaner, tape up air inlet on engine and inlet and outlet ports on air
cleaner itself, store air cleaner.
5 Remove impeller(s) from coolant water circulating pump and tie to pump to
which they apply for easy location when commissioning.
6 Drain lubrication oil from engine, fill with inhibiting oil.
7 Completely fill fuel tank. This reduces the possibility of corrosion from
condensation.
