Seacock strainer
The seacock strainer must be cleaned regularly.
Corrosion
This can occur when two different metals are in
contact near to, or in, sea water. For example, a
brass or bronze pipe tted into aluminium can cause
rapid corrosion. For this reason, special precautions
are necessary when an engine is installed. In this
situation, some components will be connected
to a sacricial anode tted to the hull. Specialist
manufacturers will advise on the maintenance of
these anodes.
Supplementary tools
A general tool kit and an on-board parts kit are
available from your Perkins Distributor. It is
recommended that the tools and other parts, listed
below, are also retained on-board:
Wire, 20 SWG (1mm in diameter)
Insulation tape
Jointing compound
Magnet (keep this away from the compass)
Mechanical ngers
Self-gripping wrench
Suitable lagging material
Rubber olives for the low-pressure fuel system
Extra blades for a small hacksaw.
