ENGINES/GENERATOR
Refer to the engine and generator OEM information
for instructions on maintaining the yacht’s engines and
generator.
As an option, a seawater strainer may be installed in the
water intake lines for each engine and the generator. At
least once every 30 days, close the seawater seacocks,
then open and clean the strainers.
Inspect the strainers more frequently if the yacht is
operated in dirty waters or areas with a high degree of
aquatic vegetation. A clogged strainer restricts the intake
of seawater which can cause the affected engine or the
generator to overheat.
THRU-HULL VALVES
Inspect the thru-hull valves on a monthly basis. Items to
inspect are as follows:
• Make sure the connections between the hose and
the valve are tight.
• Look for water leaks around the area where the valve
and hull meet.
• Every 30 days, open and close each valve two or
three times. Turning them guards against marine
growth that causes the valve to seize in the open or
closed position.
• Make sure the valve handle is securely fastened.
Tighten any loose handles.
