Basic ship maintenance and repair knowledge

Author:


First, cleaning and care Regular cleaning is a simple and important method of maintenance. Routine cleaning not only keeps it clean and beautiful, but also reduces long-term wear and scratches on the surface. Above the waterline, waxing can be used for maintenance; below the waterline, antifouling paint is required. (Consider not to pollute the waters as much as possible during the cleaning process!)

2. Checklist When it comes to maintenance, many details are hard to remember. A good way is to list all the projects that will be maintained by category. In the maintenance, the control is carried out.​​
3. Correct mooring Many scratches on the surface of the hull are not produced during the use of the ship, but are worn on the dock. Therefore, the correct docking station and proper cable tension are very important.​​
Fourth, the maintenance of the battery It depends on the type of battery used. For conventional lead-acid batteries, the battery level of the livestock battery needs to be checked frequently. Keep the battery away from dust and moisture.​​
5. Maintenance of the engine Whether it is an inboard or an outboard, be sure to flush the engine after each outing, and check whether the fuel tank is intact, such as rusted, damaged or corroded fuel lines, etc., and also check the oil liquid level. After that, check whether the engine cooling gauge is working properly.​​
Six, cold protection Maintenance not only means that maintenance is required during use, but also requires our special attention during winter, especially when it is parked in water for winter.​​
Seven, bilge pump Another important aspect of maintenance is to ensure that the bilge pump is working properly. Perhaps due to the abnormal operation of the bilge pump, the failure to discharge the bilge water in time will cause the shipwreck accident. We also need to make sure that the battery system has enough power to run the bilge pump for a long period of time, should the bilge pump be used.​​
8. Consider a boat cover Buying a boat cover can help us keep the yacht clean, and all kinds of water and dust will not damage the yacht parts; at the same time, the boat cover can also prevent the hose from breaking, the carpet fading, and the decoration caused by the sun. Cloth discoloration and other issues.
