Engine Room Cleaning<\/h3>\n
\n

The most important reasons to keep your bilge clean are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • To prevent growth of bacteria<\/li>\n
  • Eliminate foul odors<\/li>\n
  • Prevent rust and corrosion of equipment that lies in the bilge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Some boats take in more water than others. It is normal for some water to be in the bilge since it can leak in at the stuffing box(es) and rudder post(s).\u00a0Advanced Marine Management\u00a0<\/strong>will keep the bilge clean and free of deposits.<\/p>\n

    Limber Holes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Limber holes are found in the ribs or partitions in the bilge which allow water to pass through them and flow to the lowest bilge points usually where the bilge pump is located.<\/p>\n

    This allows the water to be pumped out either automatically or manually. Advanced marine will keep these holes clear of residue to prevent blocking the water flow.<\/p>\n

    Some of the checks we will perform include:
    \nLift up the float switch on your electric bilge pump to make sure it turns on the pump automatically.
    \nCheck all through-hull openings and fittings.
    \nMake sure that all fittings below the waterline have double hose clamps.
    \nCheck the seacocks to make sure that you can turn them off.
    \nLook for corrosion and rust.
    \nCheck for unusual growth or mildew.
    \nCheck all pipes, hoses and clamps.
    \nCheck limber holes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
