Anchoring; Cold Weather Precautions - Nanni N4.65 Operator's Manual

S07 STARTING & RUNNING

ANCHORING

If the boat is not going to be used for some time but
is being left in the water, the engine must be run to
operating temperature at least once every 2 weeks.
This prevents corrosion in the engine.
When the boat is at anchor or in port for an extended
period of time, vegetation may develop on the hull,
the keel, the drive, the rudder, the propeller, etc. It will
significantly affect the behaviour of the boat and the
performance of the engine if the vegetation is not
removed before the next time the boat is used.
Vegetation and fouling can also obstruct the raw
water system and result in damage to the engine by
overheating.
Inspect and clean the boat and the raw water system
each time the engine is used. Clean if necessary. If the
boat is removed out of water, clean the hull and spray a
coat of anti-fouling. Never paint the anodes.
Furthermore, when the boat is at anchor or in port for an
extended period, water can fill the exhaust system via
the exhaust outlet. It is necessary to drain regularly the
waterlock when the boat is at anchor.
