BOAT OPERATION
Engine Inspection
Remember your
“WOBBS”
every morning:
W
ater (Coolant),
O
il,
B
ilges (Inspect and Clean Excess),
B
elts
and
S
ea Strainers.
Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tanks. Check the generator fluids as well.
Check the level of OIL in each engine by checking your dipsticks located inboard on each engine. Look at
the etch marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level.
DO NOT OVERFILL OIL; proper oil
levels are below the full line (between half and three-quarters of the hash-area)!
Only fill if oil levels
are below the ½-way mark. To fill, it will require you to remove the forward floor hatches to access the most
forward valve cover where the filler cap is located. Please use blue shop towels (located in engine room on
the bulkhead) and the yellow funnel!
Check the general condition of the BELTS (new 2021; are covered so look for black dust), HOSES, and
FUEL LINES.
Ensure the valve on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL is in the
‘open’
position (lever in-line with valve).
Observe the glass of each (3) SEA/RAW WATER STRAINER for debris. If necessary, close the seacock,
open the strainer cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble. Remember to reopen the seacock.
