could lead to sinking the yacht.
Systems subject to risk of freezing include but are not limited to the
engine and generator seawater and freshwater cooling systems,
watermaker system, freshwater system (cold and hot water piping,
pumps and tanks), windshield washing system, toilets and waste
systems (piping, pumps and black water tanks), air-conditioning pumps
and piping, all seawater pumps and piping, icemakers and refrigerators,
etc.
For more information on the maintenance and service requirements of
your yacht and its equipment, and for special information about
maintenance with cold weather, see the sections in this manual that make
reference to the single components, devices and equipment, but
especially consult the User Manuals provided by the Manufacturers for
specific information.
