Anti-freezing measures
If the engine room cannot be protected from frost, the sea-
water system must be drained and the coolant in the fresh-
water system must contain sufficient anti-freeze to prevent
it from freezing. Refer to chapter Maintenance "Seawater
system" and "Freshwater system" respectively.
WARNING! If the seawater system bursts due to
freezing, it is possible for the boat to sink.
IMPORTANT! If the coolant does not give sufficient
anti-freeze protection, it may cause costly damage to
the engine.
Check the charge of the batteries. A poorly charged
battery can freeze and break.
Breaks in operation
During breaks in operation when the boat is in the water,
the engine must be run warm once a fortnight. This will
prevent the engine from corroding.
IMPORTANT! The engine must be conserved if it is
not to be used for longer than two months: Refer to:
