Bedding Blocks Caulking: Through-hull fittings, seacocks, valves: Check bedding blocks caulking blocks and caulking. Seacocks and valves should open and close with hand pressure alone. Lubricate or replace units as required.
Intakes: Check, tighten, and replace clamshell fastenings as required. Clean clamshells and sediment screens.
Through-hull fittings, valves: Check operation. These should open and close with hand pressure alone. Clean and lubricate; replace units as necessary. Check bedding blocks caulking blocks and caulking.
Pumps: Clean. Check packing and washers.
Hoses: Inspect and replace any that are worn, abraded, or weak. Tighten or replace clamps as necessary.
Raw (sea) water cooling: Drain and flush. Inspect for leaks.
In addition to the main bedding blocks caulking, many sediments show subsidiary stratification that lies at an angle with the major bedding blocks caulking lines. This is called cross-, false-, or current-bedding blocks caulking, and indicates rapid changes in direction and carrying capacity of the transporting medium. bedding blocks caulking brought about by torrents shows an alternation of coarse, current-bedded materials and fine laminations. Some sediments are very finely laminated—they lie in very thin layers—and exhibit perfectly symmetrical alternations of finer- and coarser-grained bands which may be correlated with seasonal changes.
