▋Operation & Maintenance- Liya 30FT Recreational Fishing Boat

I. Core Safety Operations Requirements

The fundamental principle is the Captain's Responsibility System. You should develop formal, written safety procedures based on regulations and your vessel's specifications. Before each voyage, designate a deputy who can assume command in an emergency.

Pre-Departure Safety Checklist

• Documentation & Communication:

  Ensure all vessel documents and operator licenses are valid and on board. Test the VHF radio to confirm it is operational.

• Weather & Planning:

  Obtain the latest marine weather forecast and notices. File a float plan with someone ashore, detailing your destination, route, and expected return time.

• Hull & Stability:

  Visually inspect the hull for any significant damage or leakage. Ensure all deck scuppers are clear. With a capacity for 9 persons, distribute weight evenly to maintain boat balance. Avoid concentrating all heavy gear (coolers, fish boxes) on the aft deck.

• Power & Fuel:

  Check engine oil and coolant levels. Ensure the 500L main fuel tank is adequately filled. Carry a reserve of fuel for at least 1/3 of your planned trip.

• Safety Gear:

  Verify one properly sized and serviceable life jacket is available for every person on board. Check that fire extinguishers, flares, life rings, first-aid kits, and throwable devices are present, easily accessible, and within their expiration dates.

Critical Operations While Underway

• Passenger Management:

  Conduct a safety briefing for all passengers before departing. Key points include seating arrangements, location and use of life jackets, and movement rules. While underway, insist that everyone remains seated in designated areas and does not sit on the gunwales or bow.

• Speed & Handling:

  Avoid operating in reverse in shallow water to prevent propeller strikes. Your high-horsepower engine (300-400HP) provides significant power and speed. Avoid sharp, high-speed turns. Reduce speed well in advance when approaching docks or other vessels.

• Man Overboard Procedure:

  If someone falls overboard, immediately shout "Man Overboard!" to alert all on deck. Stop the engines, throw a life ring or buoyancy aid toward the person, assign a spotter to keep constant visual contact, and carefully maneuver the boat to approach from downwind for recovery.

Mandatory Regular Drills

It is recommended to conduct formal drills at least once per month. All drills must be logged in the boat's logbook.

• Fire Drill: Simulate an engine compartment fire. Practice using the fire extinguisher and shutting off the engine and fuel valves.

• Man Overboard Drill: Practice the standard procedure: "Stop - Turn - Throw - Recover."

• Abandon Ship Drill: Practice correctly donning life jackets and procedures for entering the life raft (if equipped).

II. Boat Systems Maintenance Guide

While fiberglass hulls are durable, consistent care is essential for longevity.

Fiberglass Hull Maintenance

• Routine Care: Flush the hull, deck, and all gear with fresh water after every saltwater trip to remove corrosive salts. Avoid rubbing against hard surfaces when docking.

• Damage Repair: Inspect the gelcoat (the glossy outer layer) regularly. If you find cracks or chips that expose the fibrous mat underneath, repair them immediately to prevent water ingress, which can cause delamination and structural damage.

• Seasonal Storage: For winter or long-term storage, the boat must be stored on land. Water trapped within the fiberglass can freeze and expand, causing cracks. Once ashore, clean the boat thoroughly, support it properly on sturdy blocks, and store it indoors if possible. If stored outdoors, use a well-ventilated cover to prevent moisture buildup.

Power & Systems Maintenance

• Engine(s) (Single/Twin Outboard): Adhere strictly to the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance for oil changes, gear lube changes, spark plug replacement, and filter changes. Regularly check that the cooling water tell-tale is flowing strongly.

• Electrical System: Periodically inspect all wiring for chafing or corrosion. Ensure battery terminals are clean, tight, and the battery is fully charged.

• Fuel System: With a large 500L fuel tank, it is advisable to have the tank professionally inspected and cleaned every 1-2 years to prevent sludge and water accumulation. Replace fuel filters as recommended.

• Bilge & Pumps: Test the automatic bilge pump weekly by manually activating its float switch. Ensure the bilge is clean and free of debris that could clog the pump.

Recommended Maintenance Schedule

• After Every Trip: 

  Flush the hull and deck with fresh water. Visually inspect the engine for any leaks or damage. Empty, clean, and dry all live wells, coolers, and fish boxes.

• Monthly: 

  Check all safety equipment (fire extinguisher gauges, life jacket integrity, flare expiration dates). Test the bilge pump, navigation lights, and VHF radio. Conduct safety drills.

• Every Season or 100 Operating Hours: 

  Perform engine routine maintenance as per the manual. Inspect the propeller for nicks or damage. Check and replace sacrificial zinc anodes as needed.

• Annually: 

  Conduct a thorough inspection of the entire electrical system. Service the fuel system. Wash, compound, and wax the hull. Send the life raft (if equipped) to a certified service station for inspection.

• When Hauled Out for Storage: 

  Give the hull a complete wash. Flush the engine cooling system with antifreeze if in freezing climates. Drain all water from freshwater systems. Disconnect and remove batteries for storage on a maintainer. Securely cover the boat.

III. Specific Reminders for Your Boat

• High Horsepower & Large Fuel Capacity: 

  The 300-400HP engine provides tremendous power that requires respectful and cautious operation. The 500L fuel tank offers extended range but makes strict fire safety and no-smoking rules mandatory. Ensure the fuel tank compartment is well-ventilated.

• Versatile Use & Passenger Capacity: 

  When switching between "fishing" and "touring" modes, always re-secure all deck equipment (rod holders, coolers, gear boxes) to prevent shifting in rough seas. With up to 9 passengers, stability and the adequacy of lifesaving equipment are your absolute safety priorities.

• Cabin Maintenance: 

  Clean and service the marine toilet (head) regularly, using appropriate treatment chemicals. Maintain good cabin ventilation to prevent mildew and odors.

Following these operational and maintenance protocols will help ensure the safety of everyone on board and keep your vessel in excellent condition for years of reliable service.
