Storage Have an authorized Volvo Penta workshop carry out checks on the engine and other equipment before the boat is put into winter storage. Make sure all necessary repairs and service are completed so that the boat is in top condition before the next season. Conservation is performed to ensure that the engine and drive train are not damaged by non-use during winter storage. It is important that conservation is carried out in the correct manner, and that nothing is forgotten. For this reason, we have compiled a check list of the most important points.
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. The engine and other equipment must be laid up to prevent damage if they are not to be used for two months or more. It is important that this is done in the correct manner, and that nothing is forgotten. For this reason, we have compiled a check list of the most important points.
Conservation It is best to carry out the following while the boat is still in the water:
• Change engine oil and oil filters. • Replace oil in the reverse gear. • Change the fuel filter. Replace the fuel pre-filter if such is fitted.
• Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
