It is best to carry out the following when the boat
is out of the water:
CAUTION!
Is the boat equipped with Power Trim Assistant the
function must be turned off before taking the boat out
of the water.
This prevents automatic trimming of the drive/drives if
any test runs are performed while the boat is on land.
•
Clean the hull and stern drive immediately after the
boat is taken out of the water (before they dry).
Take care when cleaning with a high pressure jet.
The water jet must not be directed at the exhaust
and U-joint bellows, trim and steering cylinder seals,
propeller shaft seals, hoses and suchlike.
•
Change the oil in the drive.
•
Clean the seawater filter.
•
Clean and conserve the sea water system.
•
Remove the impeller from the seawater pump. Store
the impeller in a sealed plastic bag and keep cool.
•
Check the glycol content of the engine coolant. Top
up as necessary.
IMPORTANT!
The use of anti-corrosion agent alone in the engine
cooling system does not protect against freeze dam-
age. If there is a risk of the engine being exposed to
sub-freezing temperatures, the system must be
drained.
•
Open the drainage tap on the charge air cooler to
release any condensation.
•
Empty the fuel tank of fuel, dirt and sludge. Fill the
fuel tank completely, to avoid condensation.
•
Clean the outside of the engine. Do not use a high
pressure washer to clean the engine. Touch up any
paint damage with Volvo Penta original paint.
•
Check all control cables and treat with conservation
agent.
•
Make good any areas with damaged paintwork with
Volvo Penta original paint. Read the instructions
about painting the stern drive in the section "Painting
the stern drive and boat bottom".
•
Disconnect the battery cables. Clean and charge
the batteries. An insufficiently charged battery can
freeze and burst.
•
Remove the propeller before winter storage. Grease
the propeller shaft with water resistant grease, VP
part # 828250.
