Penta oil or preservative oil and 2/3rds diesel fuel oil. Bleed the

the reverse gear.

Disconnect the reverse gear suction line from the reverse gear.
Connect a hose with inner diameter 1/2” and, insert the free
hose end in a container with fresh water. Arrange to have water
added to the container and run the engine at idle for about 5 –
10
minutes so that it is flushed throughout with fresh water.
Make sure that there is no dirt near the exhaust outlet. Drain all
water from the engine and reverse gear. Then close all drain
points.
Mix a rustproofing mixture consisting of 15 - 20 litres
(13
Imp.qts. = 16 us qts. - 18 lmp.qts. = 21 US qts.)
fresh water and 2 - 4 litres (1.8 Imp.qts. = 2.0 US qts. - 3.5
lmp.qts. = 5.3 US qts.) rustproofing oil.
NOTE! Water first and then the oil.
Use, e.g., Esso Cutwull 40, Shell Donax C or similar. As an
alternative, a freeze-resistant 30 % glycol mixture can be used.
