Like cars, the use and maintenance of the yacht in winter first need to check antifreeze. All water containing devices are required to contain the right amount of antifreeze. Antifreeze is suitable for a variety of climatic conditions: it can expand the operating temperature range, reduce the freezing point and increase the boiling point. When the temperature is close to 0 DEG C, in order to avoid freezing, please ensure that the cooling pipe into the antifreeze mixture. Before the system is used to inject antifreeze mixture, the cooling circuit must be cleaned. However, the water (fresh water or sea water) in the pipe may still freeze and cause the pipe to break when the temperature drops below 0 degrees celsius. Therefore, it is necessary to examine all water systems and equipment, including the sea water system (engine cooling system, generator cooling system, etc.), and fresh water system (wiper, fresh water pump, etc.).

In addition, the low temperature, the general diesel will produce some solid paraffin like suspended particles clogged oil filter, causing the engine can not work properly. Therefore, the winter should be appropriate for the use of local climate conditions for diesel oil, to ensure fuel mobility. 0 light diesel is generally suitable for all parts of the country from 4 to September, the use of the south of the Yangtze River in winter can also be used; No. 10 light diesel is suitable for use in the winter and severe winter in the south of the Great Wall.
