7.10 ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM CONTROL

For each engine:

• Check whether the parts of the exhaust system (exhaust manifold, mixing elbow, exhaust pipe, hose stop, muffler, etc.). Show signs of cracks, leakage and corrosion.
• Check the hoses for signs of softness, cracks, leaks or dents. Replace them if necessary.
• Check for corroded metal parts or broken. Replace them if necessary.
• Check if there are any loose clamps, corroded or missing.
• Tighten or replace the fasteners and / or the brackets if necessary.
• Check that the exhaust outlet is not blocked.
• Visually check for leaks in the exhaust.
• Check for excess carbon or soot in the exhaust.

These residues indicate the presence of exhaust losses that must be eliminated.

CAUTION

Some temperature sensors have been installed on both engine exhausts, the warning lights are visible on the fly and on the engine control panels in the helm station and they light up to indicate that the temperature inside the exhausts is too high.
