Clean the
outside of the engine. Touch up any dam-
aged areas of paintwork with Volvo Penta original
paint.
IMPORTANT!
Never use a high-pressure washer when washing
the engine and never point highpressure water jets
directly at seals, rubber hoses or electrical compo-
nents, as this could cause serious damage.
•
Disconnect the battery leads. Clean and charge the
batteries.
A poorly charged battery may burst as a result of
freezing.
•
Spray the electrical system components with mois-
ture repellent spray.
•
Check the anodes on the engine and transom.
Replace an anode when approximately 1/3 of the
anode has been eroded. Tighten the new anode so
that there is a good electrical contact.
The following are carried out on each propulsion
unit when the boat is out of the water:
If the boat is left in the water during the longterm pres-
ervation the boat must still be taken out of the water to
perform these points shortly before starting to use the
boat again:
•
Clean the hull directly after taking up the boat
(before it dries).
•
Clean the outside of the propulsion unit directly after
taking up the boat (before it dries).
IMPORTANT!
Be careful when cleaning with a high pressure water
spray. The spray must not be pointed towards the
propeller shaft seal or the steering seals.
•
Repair any damaged areas of the propulsion unit
paintwork.
•
Remove propeller (for storage). Grease the propel-
ler shaft using water repellent grease Volvo Penta
P/N 828250.
•
Check the anode on the propulsion unit. Replace
with a new anode when approximately 1/3 of the
anode has been eroded. Tighten the new anode so
that there is a good electrical contact.
IMPORTANT!
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.
•
