Cold weather precautions
If the engine bay can not be kept frost-free, the sea-
water system must be drained and the freshwater
system coolant must have enough anti-freeze to pre-
vent frost damage. Please refer to the “Seawater sys-
tem” and “Freshwater system” maintenance chapters.
WARNING! If the engine bay can not be kept
frost-free, the seawater system must be drained.
Frost damage in the seawater system can make
the boat sink.
IMPORTANT! If the coolant does not have suf-
ficient frost protection, this can cause expensive
engine damage. Check the battery charge. A
poorly charged battery can freeze and burst.
Laying up
If the boat is not used, but left in the water, the engi-
ne must be warmed up at least once every fortnight.
This prevents corrosion damage in the engine.
IMPORTANT! If you expect the boat to be unu-
sed for two months or more, it must be laid up:
Please refer to the Laying up chapter.
