IDLE ENGINE FOR BRIEF PERIODS WITH BOAT IN WATER
To prevent the engine from corrosion attacks, it must be run warm at least once every
14 days as long as the boat is in the water. If it is anticipated that the boat will not be
used for more than a month, long-term inhibiting should be carried out.
INHIBITING FOR A LONG PERIOD
An authorized service shop should test the engine and equipment before inhibiting
the engine for a long period according to Inhibiting Schemes I and ll. It is advisable to
test the compression to find out the condition of the engine.
Carried out with boat in water
INHIBITING SCHEME
Run the engine warm
Pump out all the oil from the engine and reverse gear

Change the oil filter. Fill the engine and reverse gear to the

operation with this oil for the next season.
For long-term inhibiting, exceeding the normal winter lay-up
period, preservative oil should be used. This should be of the
type Esso Rustban 623, Shell Ensis oil or corresponding oil. In
this case, the oil filter shall not be replaced until launching.

filter with water separator is fitted, drain if there is any water in
the fuel.
