Winterisation and Recomissoning 

WinterisationThe winterisation and recomissioning service offered by French Marine Motors Ltd is designed to reduce any engine downtime in the middle of the season (When you lease want to be without the use of your boat!). A Winterisation prepares the engine to be stored correctly over the winter months when it will not be used. The following spring the engine is recommissioned, this prepares the engine for the season ahead of it.

Winterisation:
The engine oil is changed, the cooling system is drained and filled with a 50/50 mix if antifreeze and inhibitor. Any cooling system anodes are changed. Engine drive belts are checked and adjusted. Fuel conditioners are added if required. Exhuase and intakes are blanked. All of these checks and adjustments help to insure that the engine makes it through the winter in the best possible condition.

Recommission:
When an engine is recommssioned it essentially get the equivalent of a major service and reverses the winterisation process. The Water pump impellers are changed, the cooling system drained and filled with the correct coolant, primary and secondary fuel filters are changed, the engines or engines are run to warm them up and checked for leaks.

By following the Winterisation / Recomssioning process you will ensure that your engine is well maintained, and minimise downtime during the season. If you would like more information about this routine please contact us.
