Marine Survey Checklist

Marine Survey Checklist

  • The client must arrange a haul out with the marina, boat owner and broker if an out of water inspection is needed.
  •  Make sure that the keys to the engine, cabin and lockers are onboard.
  •  The vessel should be clean.
  •  The vessel's state and Coast Guard documentation should be on board.  Previous surveys, safety plans, receipts for major work and maintenance records should also be present.
  • The boat should be accessible, so the cabin, lockers and drawers permit access.
  • The batteries should be fully charged, and the boat should be plugged into shore power if accessible.
  • Electronics should be mounted and connected. 
  • Freshwater tanks should have enough water to operate and test the freshwater system.
  • There must be adequate fuel in the tanks to run the engine and generator.
  • The Engine should NOT be started prior to the survey. It is necessary to see how the engine performs from a cold state.
  • If a trial run is performed, an authorized operator or captain must be organized by the client.
  • All required boat safety equipment should be present for a sea trial.
  • Items not included in the sale should be removed from the vessel.
