Laying up/Launching
Before taking the boat out of the water for winter/out-of-season storage have an authorized Volvo Penta work-
shop inspect the engine and other equipment. Have any necessary repairs or service work carried out so that
your boat is in the top condition ready for the new season.
Inhibition should be carried out to ensure that the engine and transmission are not damaged while they are out
of commission during the winter/off-season. It is important this is done properly and than nothing is forgotten.
We have therefore provided a checklist covering the most important points. Before carrying out inhibition read
the chapter Maintenance carefully. There you will find the instructions on how to carry out the points recom-
mended in the checklist. If there is any item you are not sure of, please contact your Volvo Penta dealer for
more information.
Inhibiting
The following are carried out best with the boat in
the water:
●
●
Clean and inhibit the seawater system.
Drain any water and contaminants from the fuel
tank. Fill the tank completely with fuel to avoid
condensation in the tank.
●
●
Change the engine oil and oil filters.
Replace the fuel filter. If there is a fuel pre-filter
replace this as well.
● Clean and charge the batteries. Keep the batteries
charged while the boat is in storage.
Note! A poorly charged battery may burst as a re-
sult of freezing.
The following should be done with the boat out of
the water:
●
●
Clean the outside of the engine. Do not use a high
pressure spray to clean the engine. Touch up any
damaged areas of paintwork with Volvo Penta ori-
ginal paint.
●
Any fouling on the hull and drive is easiest remo-
ved directly after taking up the boat and before it
has dried.
Spray the electrical system components with
moisture repellant spray.
IMPORTANT! Be careful when cleaning with a
high pressure water spray. Never point the
spray at seals, rubber bellows and hoses, for
example on the propeller shaft seal, exhaust or
drive joint bellows and the trim cylinder seals.
● Check all control cables and treat with rust inhibi-
tor.
●
●
Steering shaft bearing. Lubricate
Change oil in the drive.
●
Repair any damaged areas of paintwork with Volvo
Penta original paint. Note! Read the special ins-
tructions on painting the drive under the heading:
"Painting the drive and keel".
●
●
●
Remove the propeller(s) for storage. Grease the
propeller shaft using water repellant grease.
Check the U-joint and exhaust bellows. Replace
every other year.
Lubricate U-joint and gimbal bearing.
