ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The various systems and products that make up your
3400 Express Fisherman will require routine main-
tenance from time to time and many will require scheduled
maintenance. For information about maintaining the items
purchased by the factory and included in your boat, refer to the
various products’ owner’s manuals from their manufacturers.
6 . 1 . FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system in your 3400 Express Fisherman
begins with two fuel tanks located under the cockpit floor, port
and starboard. These tanks are filled via fuel fill fittings, port and
starboard, on the side decks, and vented via vent fittings on the
hull sides, below the fuel fills. These hoses need to be inspected
seasonally to assure that the clamps that attach the hoses to the
tanks, and fill and vent fittings, are tight, and that the hoses are
in good condition.
The fuel goes from the tanks to the engines and generator
through a 6-way valve system (see Section 1.1.11.), as indicated
in the schematic for the fuel system (Figure 6-1). These hoses
and their crimped fittings need to be inspected annually for
deterioration. If any suspect areas are found, they should be
taken care of immediately, before the boat is used again.
