Storage
The boat must be laid up to prevent damage to the engine and other equipment if the boat is not used for two
months or more. It is important that this is done in the correct manner, and nothing is forgotten. For this reason,
we have compiled a check list of the most important points.
Before the boat is taken out of service for a long period of time, an authorised Volvo Penta workshop should over
the engine and other equipment. Have any faults and deficiencies attended to, so that the equipment is in order,
ready for the next start.
CAUTION!
Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting work. It contains instructions on how to carry out maintenance
and service operations in a safe and correct manner.
Some conservation oils are flammable. Some are also dangerous to breathe. Ensure good ventilation. Use a face
mask when spraying.
IMPORTANT!
Observe the following when cleaning with a high pressure washer: Never aim the water jet at seals, rubber hoses
or electrical components. Never use a high pressure washer for engine cleaning.
Inhibiting
Warm the engine up to normal operating tempera-
ture and check that the oil level in the reverse gear
reaches the MAX mark on the dipstick. Stop the
engine.
Max 8 month’s stoppage:
Change the oil and oil filter on the engine, then warm
it up afterwards.
More than 8 month’s stoppage:
Conserve the lubrication and fuel systems with con-
servation oil. Please refer to section “Bringing out of
storage”.
Check that the coolant offers sufficient frost protec-
tion. Top up as necessary.
Alternatively, you can drain the coolant (also drain
the coolant filter).
Close the sea cock and drain the water from the
seawater system.
Remove the impeller from the seawater pump. Store
the impeller in a sealed plastic bag, in a cool place.
Drain any water and contamination from the fuel fil-
ters and fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank completely, to
avoid condensation.
Disconnect the battery cables, clean and charge the
batteries. Trickle charge the batteries while the boat
is laid up. A poorly charged battery can freeze
and burst.
