Hello all.
Having a survey done on boat this coming weekend and weather looks as if it will be cold. I have a Yanmar 3HM35F.... always starts immediately on first press, however never attempted in the freezing cold. Should I use decompression valve and spin engine manually a few time to get oil circulated prior to starting? Engine does not have glow plugs so fuel going in will be COLD. Any suggestions / advise would be much appreciated as I don't want to harm the engine. Buyer will be buying new antifreeze to re-winterize when finished.
Thanks
Greg
