SECTION EIGHT
EXTENDED STORAGE

of time (more than normal off-season storage),
additional procedures are required. The procedures for
preparing for extended storage and recommissioning
after extended storage are best accomplished by an
authorized Indmar dealer.
Follow the normal procedures for off-season storage.

7. Charge the battery and check battery connections to
make sure they are clean and tight.
8. Put fresh gasoline in the fuel tank that does not
contain ethanol. Cycle the key switch several times to
make sure the fuel system is full and primed. Install
an appropriate tester and verify the fuel pressure is
at specification.
9. Apply water to the engine's cooling system and start
the engine. While the engine is warming up, check
for leaks and smooth engine operation. Monitor the
fuel pressure to make sure it stays in specification.
10. Put the boat in the water and operate it at various
RPM. Monitor the engine temperature, oil pressure,
charging voltage and fuel pressure to make sure all
stay within specification. Check the various engine
operating parameters with a diagnostic scan tool to
make sure all parameters are within specification.
