Back in my sailing days, the motors we had laid up with inhibiting oil needed to be run with flushing oil...particularly if laid up for a long time. The inhibiting oil tended to go a bit gluggy in time. Not sure about modern inhibiting oils. Cables....yes snug but no load on the rubber mounts.

Couple of quick queries for you. The crossed bracing cables (with turnbuckles) under the engine. Do these need to be tensioned or just 'snugged up'? My engine was drained and filled with inhibiting oil before leaving Europe. When I drain this, does the engine need flushing ( and if so, what with) before filling with regular oil? Cheers, Neville.
