8.1
SECTION 8 • REQUIRED INSPECTION, SERVICE AND
MAINTENANCE
220 Select
Routine inspection, service and maintenance of your
boat’s systems are vital to assure your safety, as
well as for prolonging the life of your boat. You should
develop regular routines for inspecting your boat.
The chart below summarizes inspection, service and
maintenance activities. This section also contains
descriptions of some convenient methods for
evaluating the condition of some of your boat’s
systems.
The interval between necessary service or
maintenance is highly variable, depending on the
environment your boat is in, and on the severity of
operating conditions. For example, corrosion of parts
on boats operated in salt water proceeds much
faster than the corrosion of parts on a boat operated
in fresh water. The intervals listed below are
recommended maximums, and you must reduce the
time between inspections if your observations
indicate the need.
