PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The following list of items and their accompanying numbers is in no way intended to be all
that should be done to your yacht .
This is only a suggested general list and is not intended to override the individual manufac-
turers’ manual . It also is not arranged in any special order . The numbers are in numerical order
and not in priority order . Some numbers and their meanings may also seem redundant, but
we feel it is better to be redundant than lax .
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE OWNER’S MANUAL THAT COMES WITH THE ENGINES, HEADS, ETC .
