Off-season storage preparations
(“winterization”)
Be sure to properly winterize your Volvo Penta equipment. En-
gine or drive damage can result from ignoring simple preven-
tive maintenance steps during autumn. Winterizing gives you
the assurance that your engine will run more reliably and eco-
nomically in the springtime.
Volvo Penta recommends that you have your Volvo Penta
dealer “winterize” your engine and drive. Your dealer will pro-
vide the proper servicing and maintenance to ensure that your
equipment is treated and stored properly.
Exhaust System
Engine exhaust system
Periodically inspect the engine exhaust system. Check for:
•
Deteriorated hoses
•
Burned hoses
•
Loose clamps
•
Evidence of water leaks
•
Corrosion or blockage in the exhaust manifold and riser(s).
WARNING!
Replace damaged or defective components, and se-
curely tighten all clamps. Any exhaust leak must be
repaired before you operate you boat. Exhaust leaks
release fumes that can create hazardous conditions
for operator and passengers.
Drive unit bellows
WARNING!
If you work on the drive bellows, secure the drive
unit in a raised position in such a way that it cannot
fall. A falling drive may cause serious injury.
— Check the drive unit bellows for fractures and deteriora-
tion.
— Check tightness of all hose clamps
— Check the drive unit bellows and clamps every second year.
You may order the bellows separately, or as part of an
accessory kit. (The accessory kit also includes O-rings, oils,
washers, seals, and anodes.
— (DPX only) If hose clamps must be tightened, or hoses and
clamps must be replaced, the clamp screw positions must
be maintained as shown.
