Bringing out of storage

Check oil level in the engine and drive/reverse
gear. Top up if required. If there is inhibiting oil in
the system drain and fill with new oil, change oil
filter. For correct oil grade: See the chapter "Tech-
nical Data".
Drain the antifreeze from the seawater system.
Install the impeller in the seawater pump (replace
if the old one looks worn).
Close/tighten drain cocks/plugs.
Check drive belts.
Check the condition of rubber hoses and tighten
hose clamps.
Check engine coolant level and antifreeze protec-
tion. Top up if necessary.
Connect the fully charged batteries.
Paint the drive and hull: See following page.
Check the sacrificial anode on the drive. If there is
less than 50% of the anode left it must be re-
placed. Clean with emery cloth just before the
boat is launched.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage
the galvanic protection.
Reinstall the propeller.
Launch the boat. Check for leaks.
Vent and lubricate the propeller shaft seal (reverse
gear).
Start engine. Check that there are no fuel, engine
coolant or exhaust gas leaks and that all control
functions are operating.
