13.4 Bilge
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a commercial bilge cleaner regularly. Follow the directions
carefully. The generator compartment should be kept clean and free of oil accumulation and debris.
All exposed pumps and metal components, including the generator, 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 generator owner’s manual. 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 compartment is provided by vents. Periodic inspection and cleaning
of the ventilation ducts is necessary to ensure adequate air circulation.
13.5 Generator (Optional)
The engine maintenance required on the generator is similar in many ways to any inboard engine.
The engine incorporates a pressure-type lubrication system and a fresh water cooled engine block
which is thermostatically controlled. The most important factors to the generator's longevity are
proper ventilation and maintenance of the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication
system and the AC alternator.
The primary fuel filter should be monitored for water before each use. The element should be
changed at least once each year or more frequently depending on the quality of the fuel and the hours
run. The sea strainer should be checked frequently for debris and cleaned as required.
Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your generator owner’s manual. They
should be followed exactly.
13.6 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, tower or radar arch leg drain holes. This is especially important just before
winter lay-up.
