STORAGE AND WINTER LAY-UP
Before operating or maintaining the engine, review
“Safety” on page 1-1.
Storage or winter lay-up requires preparation to prevent
damage to the power package. While preparing the
power package for winter lay-up, annual maintenance
tasks should also be performed.
Without proper preparation, storage over a long period
of time may cause internal engine parts to rust due to
lack of lubrication. Also, if the boat is stored where the
temperature falls below freezing, any water not drained
from the engine may freeze, resulting in severe damage.
Damage that is the result of improper storage is not
covered under terms of Indmar’s Limited Warranty.
NOTICE
Because of the complexity of preparing your engine
for winter storage, and the danger of catastrophic
engine damage from freezing water in the engine, it
is recommended that you have your dealer perform
winterization procedures. Damage due to improper
winterization/storage is not covered by product warranty!
To properly winterize your engine, you MUST be able
to bring the engine up to operating temperature. To
accomplish this, your boat must be in the water, or be
attached to a water supply using a hose and suitable
adapter that will allow an uninterrupted supply of water
to the engine.
NOTICE
This procedure covers only the power package portion
of your boat. Consult your boat owner’s manual or boat
manufacturer for specific boat winterizing instructions.
