Intllke
Manifold and Through-Hull Exhaust
Place a clean clolh, lightly soaked in lubricating oil, in the opening of the intake manifold
to
block the open-
ing. Do
not
shove the cloth out
of
sight. (If it is not visible at recommissioning, and an attempt is made
to
start the engine, you may need the assistance of a servicing dealer.) Make a note
to
remove the cloth prior
10 start-up. The through-hull exhaust part can be blocked
in
the same manner.
Starter
Molor
Lubrication and cleaning of the starter drive pinion is advisable,
if
access
to
the starter permits its easy
removal. Make sure the battery connections are shut off before attempting
to
remove the starter. Take care
in properly replacing any electrical connections removed from the starter.
Cylinder
Lubrication
It is not necessary
to
remove the fuel injectors from the cylinder head
to
squirt light lubricating oil into the
cylinders for
the few months
of
normal lay-up. However,
if
you anticipate a longer lay-up period (12 months
or
more),
we
recommended that this procedure be performed. The light oil in the cylinders will prevent the
pistons rings from sticking
to
the cylinder walls. Make sure you have replacements for the injector and return
line sealing washers.
Spares
Lay-up time provides a good opportunity
to
inspect
your
Westerbeke engine
to
see
ff
external items such
as drive belts
or
coolant hoses need replacement. Check
your
basic spares kit and order items
not
on hand,
or
replace those items used during the lay-up, such as filters and zinc anodes.
Batleries
If batteries are
to
be left on board during the lay-up period, make sure they are fully charged, and will remain
thaI way,
to
prevent them from freezing. If there exists any doubt that the batteries will not remain fully
charged,
or
that they will be subjected
to
severe environmental conditions, remove the batteries and store
them
in a warmer, more compatible environment.
Recommissioning
The recommissioning
01
your Westerbeke engine after a seasonal lay-up generally follows the same proce-
dures
as
lhose
presented in the "PREPARATIONS
FOR
STARTING" seclion, page 33, regarding preparation
for starting
and normal starts. However, some
of
the lay-up procedures will need
to
be counteracted before
slarting the engine.
1.
Remove the oil-soaked cloths from the intake manifold and from the through-hull exhaust port.
2. Remove Ihe sea water pump cover and gasket and discard the old gasket. Install the sea water pump
impeller removed during lay-up (or a replacement, if required). Install the sea water pump cover with a
new cover gasket.
