fogging engine in UK

[bijou22]

Hi - I have a Volvo Penta 4.3GL which I have just changed the engine oil and filter. This weekend I am also changing the plugs,belts and impeller as I do not know when they were changed last. Then I will remove the boat from the water,change the gear oil give it a general clean down and spray engine with WD-40. Next flush the raw water system,and add some antifreeze to the system. I would like comments on the above and also would I need to fog the engine for storage of 2 weeks while I do a few maintenance jobs on the boat.

When you flush your cooling system, use something like Salt Away and just drain your system. No need to use antifreeze for a 2 week period.
