Bringing out of storage

Check oil level in the engine and drive/reverse
gear. Top up if necessary. If there is inhibiting
oil in the system drain and fill with new oil,
change oil filter. For correct oil grade: See the
chapter "Technical Data".
Drain the antifreeze from the seawater system.
Install the impeller in the seawater pump (re-
place if the old one looks worn).
Close/tighten drain cocks/plugs.
Check the tension and condition of the drive
belts.
Check the condition of rubber hoses and tighten
hose clamps.
Check engine coolant level and antifreeze pro-
tection. Top up if necessary.
Connect the fully charged batteries.
Paint the drive and hull: See next page.
Check the sacrificial anode on the drive. If there is
less than 2/3 of the anode left it must be replaced.
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 dam-
age the galvanic protection.
Install propellers.
Launch the boat. Check for leaks.
Vent and lubricate the propeller shaft seal (re-
verse gear).
Start the engine. Check that there are no fuel, en-
gine coolant or exhaust gas leaks and that all
