engine. The oil then returns

specified pressure, the oil pushes open the relief valve in the

LAY-UP
&
RECOMMISSIONING
General
Many owners rely on their boatyards to prepare their craft,
including engines and generators, for lay-up during the off-
season or for long periods
accomplish lay-up preparation themselves.
The procedures which follow will allow you to perform your
own lay-up and recommissioning,
if
others do the procedures.
These procedures should provide protection for your
engine/generator during a lay-up and also help familiarize
you with its maintenance needs.
If you have any questions regarding lay-up procedures, call
your local servicing dealer. He will be more than willing
provide assistance.
Propeller
The transmission and propeller half couplings should always
be opened up and the bolts removed when the boat is hauled
out
of
storage in the cradle. The flexibility of the boat oftens puts a
severe strain
the boat is taken out or put in the water. In some cases, the
shaft has actually been bent by these strains. This does not
apply to small boats that are hauled out
not in use, unless they have been

This solution may require a higher concentration
depending on the area's winter climate. Check the solution to
make sure the antifreeze protection is adequate.
Should more antifreeze be needed, drain an appropriate amount
from the engine block and add a more concentrated mixture.
Operate the engine to ensure a complete circulation and mixture
system. Then recheck the antifreeze solution's strength.
Lubrication
With the engine warm, drain all the engine oil from the oil
sump. Remove and replace the oil filter and fill the sump
with new oil.

Top off your fuel tanks with unleaded gasoline

Fuel
System
Top off your fuel tanks with No.2 diesel fuel. Fuel additives

that the additives used are compatible with the primary fuel
