c. Other Valves Within Compartments. Packing gland nuts will be loosened and the valves will be left in an open position.
49. Capstans, Winches and Windlasses. The above deck portions of capstans, winches and windlasses such as exposed gears
and pinions will be coated with type P-2 preservative. Gear boxes will be filled to operating level with P-10 preservative lubricating oil,
type I or II, grade 30. The gears will be turned to insure distribution to the preservative throughout the assembly If turning of the
gears is not practical, the upper parts of the assembly will be preserved by atomized spraying with P-10, preservative lubricating oil,
type I or II, grade 30 or by completely filling the gear box with the preservative and draining to operating level. Brake bands and
drums will be preserved in accordance with paragraph 38. All exposed ferrous surfaces of shafts, linkages and threaded adjustment
will be coated with type P-2 preservative. Shelters will be constructed and placed over the entire units in a manner to protect from
entry of water but to permit ventilation. The shelters shall be painted as specified and shall incorporate the fabrication features as
specified herein. Drive units for capstans, winches and windlasses, separate from the main drive unit of the vessel will be preserved
as specified for similar units.
50. Piping Systems. Prior to preservation, all piping systems will be drained and blown dry with compressed air. Drain plugs,
unions, and flanges that are disconnected or removed to assure complete draining will be reinstalled.
a. Raw Water. Raw water piping systems will be thoroughly flushed with fresh water, drained and blown dry with dry
compressed air, then flushed with type P-3 preservative and the excess preservative drained.
b. Fresh Water. No preservatives will be introduced into the fresh water piping systems.
c. Fuel and Oil. Fuel and oil piping systems will be flushed with P-10 preservative lubricating oil, type I or II, grade 30, and the
excess preservative drained.
51. Davits. Davits not removed from decks will be secure. Threaded unpainted surfaces will be coated with type P-11 preservative.
Bearing surfaces and threads of removed davits will be coated with type P-11 preservative and stowed under shelter.
52. Deck Fittings. Threaded surfaces of deck plates and plugs will be coated with type P-11 preservative and reinstalled. Recessed
fittings will be coated with type P-11 preservative and the recess sealed against the entry of water using tape and strippable coating.
53. Davits, Staff and Stanchion Sockets and Bearings. Sockets and sleeve type bearings for the support of davits and similar
type components will be coated with type P-11 preservative and sealed against the entry of water using caps, plugs or tape, and
strippable coating.
54. Anchors. Anchors easily lifted to the deck will be disconnected from the anchor chain and secured in an appropriate location on
the deck Spare anchors will be secured in the storage facilities provided. Any bare ferrous surfaces of the anchor or its fittings, not
normally painted, will be protected with a coating of type P-1 preservative Detached anchor chains will be stowed in the chain lockers.
55. Wire Rope, Rigging and Fittings.
a. Rigging. Standing rigging and related fittings will be cleaned and coated with lubricant conforming to type II, grade B, of
FED-VV-L-751. Threaded fittings such as turnbuckles and shackles will be turned sufficiently to assure a coating of preservative on
the mating threaded surfaces Areas of turnbuckles fitted with protective cover will be coated with the lubricant. Rigging not required
for support of masts and other components will be coated with the lubricant and stowed below deck or in sheltered areas.
b. Wire Rope on Drums or Reels. Wire rope on drums of winches and similar gear will be unwound, coated with lubricant
conforming to type II, grade B of FED-VV-L-751. The exposed unpainted surfaces of the drum will be coated with the lubricant and
the wire rope will be rewound on the drum. A shelter of wood or metal provided with adequate ventilation will be utilized in those
instances where reels or drums cannot be stowed in sheltered areas Wood shelters shall be painted and shall incorporate the
fabrication features as specified herein.
56. Steering Systems. Unpainted surfaces of quadrants, rods, linkages, and fittings exposed to the weather will be coated with type
P-I preservative. Exposed cables will be coated with lubricant conforming to type II, grade B of FED-VV-L-751. Prior to preservation
of hydraulic controlled steering system, rudders will be positioned in a manner that will retract actuating rods of hydraulic rams as far
as possible. Exposed surfaces of rods will then be coated with type P-2 preservative. Electrical and geared components of steering
