Starter
Motor
Lubrication
and
cleaning of
the
starter ddve pinion
is
advis-
able,
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
elec-

Cylinder
Lubrication
[Diesel]
If
you
anticipate a
long
lay-up
period
(12
months
or more)
WES1ERBEKE
recommends
removing
tlle
glow
plugs
or
fuel injectors
for
access
to
the
cylinders. Squirt light
lublicating
oil
into
the
cylinders
to
prevent
the
piston rings
from
sticking
to
the
cylinder
walls.
Rotate
the
engine
by
hand
two
revolutions
then
replace
the
glow
plugs
or
injectors.
Make
sure
you
have
a
replacement
if
removing
the
injector
sealing washer for
the
injector
and
fuel
line
return.
NOTE:
If
engine
storage
is
going
to
be
a
lengthy
one,
12
months or
beyond,
it
is
wise
to
rotate
the
engine
by
hand
two
complete
turns
every
additional 4 months
to
allow
the
injec-
tion
pump
components
to
move.
This
will
help
prevent their
sticking during extended
storage
periods.

Place a clean cloth,
lightly
soaked
in
lubricating
oil,
in
the
opening of
the
intake
manifold
to
block
the
opening. 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 to start-up. The through-hull
exhaust port
can
be
blocked
in
the
same
manner.

as
required.
If
the
engine
is
to
be
layed
up
12
months or
more,
fill
the
transmis-
sion
to
tlle
very
top
to
prevent corrosion.
Lower
the fluid
to
its
normal at recommissioning.
Wipe
off
grime
and

and
touch
up
unpainted
areas.
Protect coupling and output

with
an
anticorrosion
coating,
Refer

the
TRANSMISSION
SECTION
in
this
manual
for
additional
infonnation.
Batteries
If batteries are
to
be
left
on
board duling
the
lay-up peliod,
make
sure
they
are
fully
charged,
and
will
remain that
way,
to
prevent
them
fTom
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.
SPARE
PARTS
Lay-up
time
provides a
good
opportunity
to
inspect your
WES1ERBEKE engine
to
see
if external
items
such
as
drive
belts
or
coolant
hoses
need
replacement.
Check
your basic
spm..,s
kit
and
order
items
not
on
hand,
or
replace tllose
items
used
during
the
lay-up,
such
as
filters
and
zinc
anodes. Refer
to
the
SPARE
PARTS
section
of
this
manual.
RECOMMISSIONING
The
recommissioning of
your
WES1ERBEKE engine after a
seasonal
lay-up
generally
follows
the
same
procedures
as
those
described
in
the
PREPARATIONS
FOR
STARTING
section
regarding
preparation
for
starting
and
normal starts.
However,
some
of
the
lay-up
procedures
will
need
to
be
counteracted before starting
the
engine.
1.
Remove
any
rags that
were
placed
in
the
exhaust, intake
manifold,
or
flame
arrester.
2,
Remove
the
raw
water
pump
cover
and
gasket
and
discm'd
the
old
gasket.
Install
the
raw
water
pump
impeller
removed
during
lay-up
(or
a
replacement,
if required).
Install
the
raw
water
pump
cover
with
a
new
cover
gasket.
3.
Reinstall
the
batteries
that
were
removed
during
the
lay-
up,
and
reconnect
the
battery
cables,
making
sure
the
telminals
are
clean
and
that
the
connections are
tight.
Check
to
make
sure
that
the
batteries
are
fully
charged.
4.
Remove
the
spark

5,
Check
the
condition of
the
zinc
anode
in
the
raw
water
circuit
and
clean or replace
the
anode
as
needed. Note
that
it
is
not
necessary
to
flush
the antifreeze/fresh
water
solution
from
the
raw
water
coolant
system.
When
the
engine
is
put
into
operation,
the system
will
self-flush
in
a
shOlt
peliod of
time
with
no
adverse
affects.
Also
open
up
the
heat exchanger ends
and
clear
out
any
accumu-
lated
debris.
6.
Check
the
transmission
fluid,
if
it
had
been
topped off
during
the
lay-up,
lower
the
level
of
the
fluid
to
normal.

all
electrical
connections
and
switches
are
in
