8.4 FITTING OUT
Fitting out is the performance of the tasks required to
place a yacht into service after a lay-up period. Since it
is, in effect, the recommissioning of the vessel, the
procedure provided in Section 3 (Commissioning) of this
manual should once again be followed along with these
additions:
Follow the procedure outlined in the engine manual for
placing the engine back in service after lay-up.
Follow manufacturers1 instructions for placing the follow-
ing equipment back in service:
- pressure water system
- hot water system
- head system
- steering system
- winches
- other optional system
If the mast was removed during lay-up, the tuning proce-
dures outlined in paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4 should be
performed in addition to the steps in the commissioning
procedure.
Make a complete inspection of all standing and runninp~
rigging. Look for signs of stress or cracking at fittings ;
evidence of fraying, chafing, kinking; cotter pins~ are
secure and taped. Pay particular attention to the wire-to-
rope splice on halyards.
