17. In order to prevent corrosion, spray the engine with POWERPART Lay-Up 3. Do not spray the area
inside the alternator cooling fan.
18. If the transmission is not to be used for at least a year, fill the reverse gearbox completely with its normal
lubricating oil. This will have to be drained and the normal amount of new lubricating oil added when the
engine is returned to service.
Caution: After a period in storage, but before the engine is started, operate the starter motor with the stop
solenoid disconnected until oil pressure is indicated. Oil pressure is indicated when the low pressure warning
light is extinguished. Connect the stop solenoid.
If the engine protection is done correctly according to the above recommendations, no corrosion damage will
normally occur. Perkins or Wimborne Marine Power Centre are not responsible for damage which may occur
when an engine is in storage after a period in service.
How to add antifreeze to the raw water system for engine preservation purposes
Before antifreeze is added to the raw water system the system should be flushed out with fresh water. To do
this operate the engine for one to two minutes with the seacock closed and with a supply of fresh water through
the open top of the raw water strainer.
1. Obtain two empty, clean containers each with a capacity of approximately 9,0 litres (2 UK gallons) 9.6
US quarts. Also obtain 4,5 litre (1 UK gallon) 5 US quarts of POWERPART antifreeze.
2. Remove the hose from the raw water connection on the exhaust elbow and put the end of the hose into
one of the containers.
3. Remove the cover from the top of the raw water strainer, and with the seacock closed, add some
antifreeze through the open top of the raw water strainer. Start the engine and run the engine at idle speed,
then continue to add the remainder of the antifreeze through the open top of the strainer.
4. Operate the engine for several minutes. During this period, change the containers around, pour the
antifreeze/water solution from the container at the outlet (hose end) into the strainer.
5. When the antifreeze is mixed thoroughly and has been circulated through the raw water system, stop
the engine. Fit the top of the raw water strainer.
6. Connect the hose to the raw water connection on the exhaust elbow.
7. Put a label on the engine to make the operator aware that antifreeze is in the raw water system and
must be drained before the seacock is opened and the engine operated.
