Laying up Ashore
a) Change the engine oil before the boat is taken out of the
water. Remember that warm engine oil is much easier to
pump than cold!
b) Cooling system - As above in 'Winterising and Laying up'
paragraphs (b) to (f) should be followed.
c) If the engine is to be laid up for more than 6 months
then remove the sea water pump impeller.
d) If the engine will not be used or run for periods longer
than 6 months we recommend that the engine is
'inhibited' - this means involves running the engine for
about 5 minutes to:
Replace all the diesel fuel in the fuel system and
injection pump by running the engine with 'calibration
fluid' (fuel pump test oil ISO 4113).
Allow 'Ensis' to circulate around the lubricating oil system
by draining out the standard lubricating oil and replacing
it with a rust preventative oil such as 'Ensis' or similar.
