S07 START & RUNNING
ANCHORING
If the boat is not going to be used for some time but is
being left in the water, the engine must be run to operating
temperature at least once every 2 weeks. This prevents
corrosion in the engine.
When the boat is at anchor or in port for an extended
period of time, vegetation may develop on the hull, the keel,
the drive, the rudder, the propeller, etc. It will significantly
affect the behaviour of the boat and the performance of
the engine if the vegetation is not removed before the next
time the boat is used.
Vegetation and fouling can also obstruct the raw water
system and result in damage to the engine by overheating.
Inspect and clean the boat and the raw water system each
time the engine is used. Clean if necessary. If the boat is
removed out of water, clean the hull and spray a coat of
anti-fouling. Never paint the anodes.
Furthermore, when the boat is at anchor or in port for an
extended period, water can fill the exhaust system via
the exhaust outlet. It is necessary to drain regularly the
waterlock when the boat is at anchor.
