What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Weekly engine test run (min. 5 min). Release hook servicing annually by an approved service provider (SOLAS MSC.402(96)). GRP hull inspection at docking. Five-year thorough examination.
| Annual service/thorough examination | annually per LSA Code/SOLAS |
|---|---|
| 5-yearly winch overhaul and load test | per SOLAS III requirement |
| On-load release gear overhaul | typically every 5 years per SOLAS/maker requirement |
| Wire fall inspection/renewal | more frequent condition checks are prudent given higher drill cycling; renew on condition, commonly within 5 years or sooner |
| Stored-power system check (if fitted) | per maker's schedule, typically at each annual service |
| Wire fall diameter reduction | discard per class/rope-maker's criteria, commonly around 10% reduction from nominal |
|---|---|
| Brake lining thickness | renew before reaching the maker's minimum mark, checked more often given the higher duty cycle |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Same LSA Code/SOLAS III annual and 5-yearly regime as lifeboat davits applies, but surveyors typically expect to see drill/launch logs cross-checked against wear findings given the higher usage rate of fast-rescue boat davits. On-load release gear maintenance records are a common focus area.
Estimated lifetime: Not expressed in running hours; structure is typically designed for 20-25 years of service, but fast-rescue boat davits see more operating cycles per year than lifeboat davits, so wire falls, brakes and release gear should be assessed on cycle count as well as calendar time
