A lovely privately owned fishing vessel from the 70s, much loved and in the current ownership for many years but highlighted in this vessel was two things that owners tend to miss, the anode for the bowthruster was totally depleted and painted over (could cause wasting of the metal casing of bowthruster due to dezincification) also screws to rails around foredeck loose, this may need to save someone falling overboard. Also new to me and identified as such was a water separator for the diesel fuel, it was just a small metal tank between main tank and lift pump and the giveaway…..a bleed tap underneath
