● 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 ”Tech-
nical Data”.
● Drain the antifreeze from the seawater system.
● Install the impeller in the seawater pump (replace if
the old one looks worn).
● Close/tighten drain cocks/plugs.
● Check drive belts.
● Check the condition of rubber hoses and tighten
hose clamps.
● Check engine coolant level and antifreeze protec-
tion. 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 50% of the anode left it must be re-
placed. 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 damage
the galvanic protection.
● Reinstall the propeller.
● Launch the boat. Check for leaks.
● Vent and lubricate the propeller shaft seal (reverse
gear).
● Start the engine. Check that there are no fuel,
engine coolant or exhaust gas leaks and that all
control functions are operating.
