This unit describes the performance outcomes required to winterise or prepare a vessel and its engine systems for seasonal shutdown and storage. It involves preparing for the task, testing the vessel systems and engine prior to winterising, making any recommendations for further action, and carrying out treatments of vessel and engine systems.
It applies to those working in the marine service and repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
winterise two different vessels and their engine systems, in which the work must involve:
fogging engine cylinders
treating fuel systems
disconnecting batteries
lubricating linkages and starter drive mechanisms
treating cooling systems
weatherproofing systems and components.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to testing and winterising vessels and engine systems, including procedures for checking and dealing with flammable gas build-up in boats
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of fluids drained from engine systems
pre-winterising testing procedures for vessels and engine systems, including:
electrical system testing
engine and driveline testing
control system testing
winterising procedures for vessels and engine systems, including:
properties and use of servicing fluids, lubricants and anti-corrosion products used in winterising procedures
fogging engine cylinders
emptying and treating fuel systems
disconnecting batteries
lubricating linkages and starter drive mechanisms
treating cooling systems
weatherproofing systems and components.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vessels that they have winterised, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
marine repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer vessel specifications
two different vessels, engines and associated systems requiring winterising
testing equipment for vessels and engine systems
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for winterising vessels and engine systems.
