MI inspected the life ring and noted grab line in unserviceable condition. 46CFR160.050-3(a)(c) 60c.

A vessel must carry one floating waterlight. Upon examination by MI the waterlight was found unserviceable. 46CFR180.70(d) 60c.

Where flexible nonmetallic hose is permitted for use in piping systems by this section, it must meet SAE J-1942 (incorporated by reference; see 46 CFR 175.600) or be specifically approved by the Commandant. The following restrictions apply: Flexible nonmetallic hose may be used in lube oil, fuel oil and fluid power systems, subject to the following requirements: Flexible hose may only be used at a pressure not to exceed the manufacturer's rating and must have a high resistance to saltwater, petroleum oils, and vibration. Upon inspection of vessels generator MI observed leaking fuel from non metallic hoses. MI is requiring repairs to be completed prior to starting/using generator and to provide proof of repairs to MI prior to restoring generator as operational. 46CFR183.720(e)(3)(i) 705c.
