-Engine(s) :
All
maintenance showing at what
ENGINE HOUR when it was done , who did it and
parts replaced( filters etc).
Oil changes with what
oil used, zn replacement, filters, impellers heat exchangers inspections ,O ring replaced …
All
repairs big or small: replace injectors, impellers
pump,
heat exchanger, anything & every thing.
-Boat in general:
inspection & replacement;
mast, stays,
bilge pumps and all seacocks &
water strainers for engine(s) & A/C,
dinghy, out board,..
I personnally write down almost any
work I or someone does on the
boat: it reminds me when I need to do it or that I didnt do it right if I needed to do soon after. I highlight in yellow or pink the significant ones that need to be done on a schedule, so. I can find them easily if I need to check if it is time to do the next
service.
I use a standard
maintenance log bought at west
marine.
It's real easy to do & so useful .
If no log exist ask for the bills & invoices of the services &
parts etc, and if nothing is available , it may likey mean the services were done when ever..
Hope that helps.
