Extended Storage
CAUTION
Failure to fog the engine can result in serious engine corrosion during off season or extended storage. Always fog the engine as outlined before storing the watercraft for extended periods.
Watercraft Engine Fogging Procedure
Polaris recommends the use of fogging oil to prevent rust and corrosion on internal engine parts (i.e. crankshaft, bearings, pistons, rings, cylinder walls). The fogging oil coats all internal parts for prevention of rust and corrosion, which in turn will extend the life of the engine. See page 101 for part numbers of Polaris products.
