Salt water operation
Your Volvo Penta sterndrive is built for operation in
either fresh or salt water.
If boat is moored for long periods, tilt drive unit out of
the water (except during freezing temperatures).
When removing the boat from the water, lower drive
unit to the run (down) position until the cooling sys-
tem has drained thoroughly
IMPORTANT After use in polluted or salt water
and kept laid up on land the entire sterndrive’s
exterior should be rinsed with fresh water.
Cold weather precautions
To prevent freezing damage the seawater system
must be drained and the freshwater system (acces-
sory) coolant must have sufficient anti-freeze protec-
tion. See chapter Maintenance "Cooling systems".
IMPORTANT A poorly charged battery may
burst as a result of freezing.
Laying up
If the boat is not going to be used for some time but
be left in the water, the engine must be run hot at
least once every 14 days. This prevents corrosion in
the engine. If the boat is not going to be used for
longer than two months then inhibiting procedures
must be applied: See chapter: Laying up and inhibi-
ting.
