RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Clean surface corrosion from the engine’s heat exchanger at the raw water hose connections and from isolated areas of the engine and transmission, inspect for deterioration, service as required and paint to arrest any further corrosion.
2. Clean corrosion from the engine and galley raw water supply through hulls and valves, inspect for deterioration and service if/as required.
3. As I did not separate the shore power cord from the inlet; inspect the connections for any corrosion and/or heat damage and service if/as required.
4. Although not required; consider having the life raft re-certified prior to any offshore cruising.
