● Check oil level in the engine and drive/reverse
gear. Top up if necessary. If there is inhibiting oil

filter. For correct oil grade: See the chapter ”Tech-
nical Data”.

the old one looks worn).

● 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.

● 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.
