debris accumulated in the bottom by shining the flashlight through the filter housing
towards yourself. There are 2 filters per engine. If water is present, it may be drained

valve is closed and not dripping.
8) Check transmission fluid levels weekly. Dip sticks are on the inboard side of each
transmission. Re-insert dipsticks and make sure they are firmly in place.
9) Look for anything else that looks out of place, loose, disconnected, or broken. There
should not be any fluids under the engines and the drip pads should be mostly clean.
If you notice any significant fluid, identify the source and cleanup then notify AYC.
AFTER STARTING the engines and generator, check immediately for water flow
out of all exhausts. If no water is flowing out of an exhaust within a few seconds,
shut down the engine. Recheck the sea strainer to make sure it has picked up a prime
and does not have mostly air in the sea strainer. If not, the raw water pump may have
a weak impeller. Please contact AYC.
B. GENERATOR CHECKOUT
The generator should be checked prior to running the first time and then once a week
thereafter
Open the center panel on the aft deck to gain access to the lazarette. Remove the aft
panel of the generator sound shield by unscrewing fasteners on top, a half turn, and pull
the panel free.
1) Check oil - dipstick is down low on generator engine starboard side.
2) Check fresh water coolant in the expansion tank of the generator. Trace the overflow
tube from the generator to the expansion tank to locate it. Add distilled water if needed.
3) Check generator sea strainer for obvious obstructions. Also make sure the through hull
valve is open. Open is the normal position. Do not run the generator with this closed or it
will fail the raw water impeller.
4) Re-attach sound shield and snugly tighten fastener screws.
