Laying - up
If the boat is stored =n water, the engine should be
run until it is warm at least once every month If the
boat =s unhkely to be used for more than 90 days it
must be put into Lay up storage
Lay up Storage
Let an authonzed workshop test the engine and
equrpment before the boat Js taken out of the ’water
WARNING! The procedures for Lay up
storage do not prevent freeze damage They B
are intended only to reduce the poss[bhty of
corrosion damage to the internal engine parts |
dunng prelonged periods of non-use /
d
Off Season Storage (Winterization}
1 Add fuel conditioner to the fuel tanks This will
stabilize the fuel and prevent the formation of
varntsh and gum En the tanks
2 Change engine oil and filter Run engine to warm
up the oil Shut off engine and sJphon oil out from
wlthdrawl tube (dip stick tube) Install new orl filter
and fill crankcase w~th recommended orl. See
Techmcal Data
,~ important! Do not run engine w=thout a
supply of cooling water. Do not run sea water
pump Impeller dry
3 Change oft in HS-1 transmission gear box
Siphon oil out of oil wlthdrawl tube (dip stick tube).
Install new oll filter and fill HS-1 transmission with
recommended od See Techn[cef Data
4 Gi Models: Prepare an engine storage mixture m
a six gallon fuel tank It should consist of five
gallons fuel, 64oz fogging otl, and 2 5 oz fuel
conditioner Mix thourough[y DEsconnect the boats
fuel tank supply hne at the fuel filter intake nipple
Connect the s~x gallon fuel tank to the fuel intake
nipple Run engine on the storage mixture for
approximately five mfnutes at 1500 RPM Shut off
engrne before storage mixture Is used up Note! Do
not run engine out of fuel, the fuel pumps will be
damaged
GL Models: Remove the flame arrestor from the
carburetor Start engine and bring it up to a fast
idle Follow the instructions on the fogging oil
container Pour or spray 2/3 of the fogging oil into
the carburetor throat Keep engine running while
pounng fogging oil =nto the carburetor.
Rapidly add the remaining 1/3 of the fogging oll to
the carburetor and reduce throttle to idle; the engine
wJ[I die Turn off ignrtion and replace flame arrestor
Do the following while the boat is ~n the water’
I.J Dram the engine oil once the engine ~s hot

WARNING! Exercise extreme care when
changing fuel I~nes. Make sure all lines are
secure and no fuel leaks ,are poss=ble
Gasohne ~s extremely flamable and can be
highly explosive if ignited
A
Important! Do not run engine without a
supply of cooling water Do not run sea water
pump Empe[ler dry
5 Dram the coohng system See sectFon tJtled
"Cold weather precautions" Follow the necessary
steps for Sea water cooled models Note! For
Closed cooled models (Fresh water cooled),
may only be necessary to check: the freezing point
of the coolant mixture See section titled "Cold
weather precautions" and follow the steps for
Fresh water cooled models
6. Frll sea water passages with a 50/50 mixture of
anti-freeze and fresh water. Th~s will help avoid
corrosion m the coohng system of sea water cooled
models and the sea water portion of the coohng
system in Closed cooled models It is very
important that the engine block exhaust manifolds,
oft coolers and HS1 transmissE~n be drained
completely of sea water and filled with 50/50 mixture
of anti-freeze and fresh water. Freeze damage is
not covered under the Volvo Penta Warranty
7 Disconnect the Battery and piace in storage
Periodically recharge battery following the
manufacturers recommendations All batteries
discharge when they are not In use Th~s self-
discharge increases w~th storage temp Charge the
battery every month or two, depending on the stor-
age temperature
A
Important! A battery gets severely damaged
__ by being discharged for a longer period. A d=s-
charged or low-charged battery can be de-
stroyed by freezing
