RECOMMENDATIONS

These recommendations are the surveyor’s ideas and suggestions for addressing deficiencies with damaged or suspect components or systems found during survey or general improvements.  The primary recommendations address safety items, structural issues, operational issues or deficiencies which the surveyor determines are of greater importance or more expense than secondary deficiencies.  For instance, items that pose a risk to passenger safety or immediate property damage are listed under primary deficiencies and cosmetic concerns are addressed under secondary deficiencies.  Most of the recommendations have been addressed in the comments and usually they are discussed at the time of the inspection.

 

PRIMARY

  1. The vessel is not equipped with a masthead / steaming light, assure compliance with applicable federal regulations.
  2. Assure the vessel has all legally required carriage items including approved, and current distress signal flares, waste management plan and a current copy of the navigation rules.
  3. The label the AC electrical panel.
  4. Maintain the fixed fire extinguisher per NFPA recommendations.

SECONDARY

  1. The starboard pilothouse window is cracked, replace as necessary.
  2. The head discharges directly, limit its use to comply with federal regulation
