Page 5: Pre-Start Check List
Luvalee Operations Manual 1. PRE-START CHECK LIST Before you operate the vessel for the day, do an inspection of the mechanical systems and the engine room. Any problem is much easier and safer to fix while securely tied up at a dock, or at anchor, than it is while adrift. - Page 6 Luvalee Operations Manual Generator Starboard Engine 7) Check sea strainers forward of each engine for obvious obstructions like seaweed or plastic. There are sea strainers for the engines (2) Cruisaire heat pumps (2), Seawater pump (1), and generator (1).
