4.14 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The yacht is fitted with a high number of sophisticated equipment and
systems that require periodic inspections and maintenance in order to
operate safely and reliably. One of the factors that can cause failures is
the intermittent use of the yacht and its equipment. Experience shows
that the regular use of equipment helps maintain the good operation of all
machinery and equipment. Your yacht and its systems will thrive on
regular use.
Daily checks and periodic routine and preventive maintenance are
important for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of your yacht’s
equipment. Failure to perform these routine periodic maintenance
schedules can result in the deterioration of the equipment’s performance
and lead to premature failures. Neglecting maintenance can lead to
unexpected problems and unsafe conditions that will reduce your
enjoyment of your yacht.
The maintenance schedule is based on time or running hour intervals,
rather than a specific calendar. For example, if a maintenance task is
scheduled every 100 hours or 3 months; such task must be repeated after
200 hours or after 6 months, after 300 hours or after 9 months and so on.
In case of a long inactivity period, e.g. winter, it is advisable to
decommission the yacht. See the Long-Term Lay-up section in the
MAINTENANCE chapter of this manual.
NOTICES
General information about ordinary maintenance tasks and
maintenance scheduling is provided in this manual. For further
information, refer to the specific equipment manufacturer’s manuals.
