Engine Room Inspection
Complete Daily:
1.
Engine room is accessed through the cockpit. Electric hatch lift switch is located in the
starboard storage box.
2.
Check the bilge and the diapers below the engine for any water, coolant, fuel, or oil. The bilge
and the diapers should look the same as the day before.
3.
Use the dipstick for both engines to check the oil level. Each dipstick is located on the center
aisle for easy access.
4.
Wipe the dipstick clean first to check the oil level.
5.
DO NOT OVERFILL OIL! Only fill if oil levels are below the bottom mark.
6.
Check the coolant level by removing radiator cap inserting finger and feel for liquid. If none is
felt, add coolant until it can be felt by your finger.
7.
Check the overflow tank on the forward bulkhead.
8.
Check the two engine and generator raw sea water strainers for grass or debris. (If necessary,
close the valve to the strainer, open the strainer cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble.
Remember to re-open the seacock!).
9.
Key for raw water strainers is in the engine room.
10.
Look at the visible hoses, belts, plumbing, and wiring for any potential problems such as
chafing, leaking, cuts, etc.
