  • Page 126 CAUTION Routine inspection, service and maintenance of your vessel’s systems are vital to assure your safety, as well as for prolonging the life of your vessel. You should develop regular routines for inspecting your vessel. The items indicated above summarizes inspection, service and maintenance activities that should be conducted at the annual haul out. The interval between necessary service and or maintenance is highly variable, depending on the amount of usage, the environment your vessel is kept 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 recommended annual checklist above is a guideline only, and you must reduce the time between inspections if your observations or experience indicate the need. Some items may need to be checked on an as use daily basis, others weekly, monthly or if on an extended ocean voyage during each watch period.
