Laying Up (Winterization)

Be sure that your Volvo Penta equipment is properly
prepared for long or short term storage. Engine or drive
damage can result if some simple maintenance steps
are overlooked prior to storage. Winterizing gives you
the assurance that your engine will be protected during
storage and will run more reliably when you put your
boat back in the water.

Short-Term Storage

Up to two months:
Add fuel stabilizer; refer to Ethanol-Blended
Gasoline, page 89.
Flush engine with fresh water. See Engine
Flush, page 48.
Drain water from raw water side of engine cooling
system. Do not drain the engine block! See
Engine Shutdown, page 52.
Store battery as recommended by manufacturer.
