There is a leak on the connection line/hose between the bilge and fire main piping.

At each initial and subsequent inspection for certification, the owner or managing operator must be prepared to conduct tests and have the vessel ready for inspection of its fire protection equipment, including each portable fire extinguisher to check for excessive corrosion and general condition. Aft cabin fire extinguisher was found to be under-pressurized.

All fittings on fire hose shall be of brass, copper, or other suitable corrosion-resistant metal. Garden hose fittings were plastic. Old T- 46CFR181.15-10(f)

Vessel reported port tail-shaft seized in place with shaft coupling spinning on locked tail-shaft. Forward water lubricated shaft bearing material broke free from its' molding and became lodged around shaft in its' housing internal of vessels shaft log, this seizing of material caused the coupling key internal of shaft coupling to sheer in half, thus allowing the coupling to free spin on tail-shaf
