the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system,
lubrication system and the AC alternator. Main -
tenance schedules and procedures are outlined in
your generator owner’s manual. They should be
followed exactly.
Proper generator operation requires a good supply
of clean, dry fuel. Algae can grow in the accumu-
lated water in the diesel fuel tank. This condition is
most prevalent in warm climates. Periodically add-
ing a high quality diesel fuel additive containing
an algaecide may be required to control algae in
your boating area. This is particularly important if
your generator is not being run enough to require
at least one full tank of fresh fuel each month.
13.5 Drainage System
It is essential that the following items be done
periodically to maintain proper drainage of your
boat:
• Clean the cockpit drains with a hose to remove
debris that can block water drainage.
• Clean the hardtop leg drain holes. This is
especially important just before winter lay-
up.
• Flush all gravity drains with fresh water to keep
them clean and free flowing.
• Operate the thru-hull valves once a month and
service as required.
• Run all overboard pumps briefly at least once
a month to keep them operating properly.
Notice:
All drains and pumps must be properly win-
terized before winter lay-up.
