Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Hard starting after extended lay-up from fuel system varnishing
  • Starter battery degradation from infrequent test runs
  • Release hook or hydrostatic interlock corrosion from saltwater exposure
  • Davit falls wire corrosion, kinking or under-lubrication
  • Air supply system filter contamination on enclosed variants
  • Canopy/hull gelcoat cracking and UV degradation over time

Inspection checklist

  • Weekly engine start and minimum 3-minute run with cooling/exhaust check
  • Monthly dry test of the on-load release gear
  • Monthly battery and charging circuit check
  • Quarterly falls wire inspection for broken strands and corrosion
  • Annual winch brake function and holding test
  • Annual hook/interlock overhaul per maker instructions
  • 5-yearly on-load release gear load test per MSC.1/Circ.1206/Rev.1
  • Bilge pump and self-bailing arrangement check

Service intervals

Engine test runweekly, minimum 3 minutes under load
On-load release gear testannual dry test; 5-yearly load test per SOLAS
Falls wire inspection and lubricationevery 3 months
Winch brake overhaulannual or per maker schedule
Battery renewaltypically every 2-4 years
Hook/interlock mechanism overhaulannual, per davit maker instructions

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Falls wire rope diameter losscondemn per the wire rope maker's table, commonly around 10% diameter reduction - confirm against SOLAS/maker limits
Release hook jaw wearrenew when wear exceeds the maker's stated limit - confirm against the maker manual, no generic figure should be assumed

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Fuel injector / injector nozzle set
  • Starter battery
  • Release hook and hydrostatic interlock overhaul kit
  • Falls wire (davit wire rope)
  • Raw water pump impeller
  • Hatch/canopy seal gasket set

Safety

  • Uncontrolled or premature release during launch drills - strict permit-to-work procedure required
  • Crush/impact injury during freefall launch testing - maintain an exclusion zone
  • Heat and fume build-up inside an enclosed boat during engine test runs
  • Fall-from-height risk during davit and falls inspection

Class survey

Falls under SOLAS Ch. III / LSA Code. Annual thorough examination and 5-yearly operational load test of the on-load release gear (MSC.1/Circ.1206/Rev.1) are typically required; class expects dated maintenance and release-gear test records retained on board.

Estimated lifetime: Hull and structure are typically rated for 20-25 years of service life by class; the engine itself accumulates very low running hours (mostly test runs), so condition and periodic survey - not hours - normally govern replacement.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
