Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] What are the todo’s before and after haulot of a SM2K If you are leaving the boat on the hard for a while here is a list you may want to think about: Sea Water Valves 1. Close all sea water valves. There are two in the engine room. 2. Put a little vegetable oil in the valves and work them. Make sure you run the engines for at least 1 hour before running the water maker when you return. No oil should be introduced to water maker. Salt Water Removal

Leaving Aquarius on a mooring ball, or at anchor (Not Recommended) 1. Close the valves to water tight doors. 2. Close water tight doors. Leaving Aquarius for more than a few weeks: 1.

For me it is the first time of a haul out with a SM2K. What would you suggest to do before and (directly) after haul out? That’s my current list: Before haul out - Empty the black water tanks and fill up with 0.5 Ltr vegetable oil. Open and close shortly the valves. After haulout - Flush the Main engine, the generator and the AC’s with fresh water. What else? Thanks so much in advance. Fair winds Olaf S/V Sayonara II, SM2K 392 currently in Martinique
