13.4 Bilge and Engine Compartment
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a commercial bilge cleaner regularly. Follow the directions
carefully. The engines and engine room should be kept clean and free of oil accumulation and
debris. All exposed pumps and metal components, including the engines and drive gear, should
be sprayed periodically with a protector to reduce the corrosive effects of the high humidity
always present in these areas.
Maintenance intervals are outlined in the engine owner’s manuals. Their recommendations
should be followed exactly.
Periodically check the bilge pumps for proper operation and clean debris from the strainers and
float switches. Inspect all hoses, clamps and thru hulls for leaks and tightness on a regular basis
and operate all thru hull valves at least once a month to keep them operating properly.
A flow of air into the bilge is provided by vents located in the hull. Periodic inspection and
cleaning of the ventilation ducts is necessary to ensure adequate air circulation.
Engines
Proper engine maintenance is essential to the proper performance and reliability of your inboard
engines. Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your engine owner’s manual.
They should be followed exactly.
Proper engine operation requires a good supply of clean, dry fuel. Improper marina fuel storage
techniques, limited boat usage, etc. can cause the fuel to become contaminated. Periodically, it
may be necessary to siphon accumulating water and contaminated fuel from the bottom of the
fuel tanks.
