MAINTENANCE
PAGE 27
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
All pumps should be checked frequently
to insure proper operation. This is an
especially
important
regular
maintenance
item
since
proper
functioning of a pump could save your
vessel from serious damage in the
future.
Inspect all hoses for chafing and
deterioration. See that hose clamps are
tight. Check that the pump impeller area
is clean and free of obstructions.
Inspect electrical wiring for corrosion.
Make sure float switches move freely
and are making an electrical connection.
The owner should become familiar with
the layout of the water and waste
systems by walking through the boat
with the diagrams provided in this
manual. It is especially important that
the owner knows all the thru-hull valve
locations
and
inspects
for
leaks
frequently. Refer to plumbing diagrams
in Specifications and Technical section
of this manual.
General Thru-hull Lists (varies from boat
to boat---see diagrams in Systems and
Circuits section).
1) Engine cooling system
2) Galley sink
3) Head sink
4) Head toilet (water intake)
5) Holding tank discharge
6) Scupper drains
FUEL SYSTEMS
The owner should inspect the condition
of fuel lines for cracks or leaks. A
primary source of fuel-related problems
is water in the system. The owner
should use only well maintained fueling
facilities and make sure fuel fill caps are
tightly secured after filling. Check and
maintain fuel filters periodically. Refer to
your Engine Manual for additional
information. Periodically, add biocide to
prevent
bacteria
and
fungi
from
contaminating diesel fuel that may
contain some water. Carefully follow
manufacturer
’
s instructions and clean
filter regularly.
