SCOPE OF MARINE SURVEY
The Marine Survey Inspection of the 1998 Maxum 3700 SRC, M/V “Tannzer” took place on Thursday, January 12, 2017. The
Marine Surveyor (Cale Mathers – SAMS® AMS® #1156) attended onboard the vessel from approx. 9:30am to approx. 3:30pm.
The inspection began while the vessel lay afloat at her moorage slip at D-Dock of La Conner Marina in La Conner, WA. Sea trial
testing was performed on the Swinomish Channel & Skagit Bay / Puget Sound / La Conner, WA. An out-of-water inspection of
the hull’s wetted surface area, and the underwater machinery was performed during haul-out at La Conner Maritime boatyard
facility in La Conner, WA. The reason for the Marine Survey Inspection was to ascertain the overall condition & Fair Market
Value (FMV) of the vessel. Marine Survey Inspection Notes & Limitations are detailed below:
MARINE SURVEY INSPECTION NOTES & LIMITATIONS:
• Fiberglass, metallic, and/or wooden structures were evaluated using non-destructive testing methods. Testing methods
include, but are not limited to: visual inspection, percussion hammer soundings, and moisture meter readings. The moisture
meter tool used during the inspection was a GE Aquant Protimeter. Structures were not disassembled during the Marine
Survey Inspection process. Definitive conclusions cannot be made based solely on non-destructive testing methods.
Structure deficiencies noted in the report are observations that may require further investigation using destructive testing
techniques in order to properly troubleshoot the issue, and to develop a plan for repair. Undetectable deficiencies may exist
in inaccessible locations.
• Mechanical systems were visually inspected & observed during testing procedures. The Marine Surveyor is not a certified
marine engine technician. Disassembly of mechanical systems did not take place during the Marine Survey Inspection
process. Deficiencies noted in the report are observations that may require follow up evaluation by a qualified technician.
Internal engine deficiencies may be undetectable during the Marine Survey Inspection process.
• AC & DC power sources were used to test electronic equipment. Electrical systems were visually inspected, and evaluated
using the following tools: Fluke 376 True RMS Clamp Meter, Ideal 61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer True RMS, and
Midtronics PBT-300 Professional Battery Tester. The Marine Surveyor is not a certified marine electrician. Electrical system
panelboards & miscellaneous equipment were not disassembled. Undetected deficiencies may exist in inaccessible
locations.
• Tankage (diesel, gasoline, lube oil, hydraulic, fresh water, black water, grey water) was visually inspected where accessible.
The surveyor is unable to comment on the condition of inaccessible areas of tankage systems, including tank interiors.
• The Marine Survey Inspection of a sailing vessel should not be considered a full & detailed rigging inspection. The Marine
Surveyor did not go aloft. Rigging system equipment was visually inspected at deck & cabin levels. Sails are visually
inspected only if the vessel’s representative sets the sails during sea trial testing. Contact a qualified rigging specialist for
more information regarding the overall condition of rigging systems on sailing vessels.
• The Marine Surveyor makes no determination & expresses no opinion of the vessel’s stability characteristics.

NOTES / COMMENTS:
• There was oil residue identified at the aft sections of the main engine oil pans, and in the vicinity of the main engine turbo
assemblies. The exact source & severity of the oil leaks described was undetermined. Recommend clean oil residue from
engine equipment, clean bilge compartments & place absorbent padding underneath the engines, and monitor for recurring
deficiency. Consult a qualified technician or reputable service facility to discuss service options. Minor oil leaks are not
uncommon when dealing with diesel powered mechanical equipment in a marine environment; however, excessive oil
leakage into bilge compartments can potentially violate Federal pollution laws.
• There was minor cracking damage identified at the rubber hose used to transfer seawater from the seawater section of the
port engine’s cooling system to the mixing elbow of the wet exhaust system. The hose described appeared in adequate
condition during the inspection. Recommend monitor the condition of the hose described, and renew with marine grade
equipment as condition deteriorates.
• There was evidence of a slight wet exhaust system leak identified at the fiberglass waterlift muffler equipment serving the
port engine’s wet exhaust system. Salt residue build up identified at the exterior of the muffler equipment is an indication of
a small pinhole leak in the fiberglass. Active leaks were not observed during the sea trial testing procedures. The waterlift
muffler equipment described appeared in adequate condition, and capable of serving its intended purpose. Recommend
monitor the waterlift muffler equipment to determine the severity of the leak described, and repair if leaking persists.
Consult a qualified technician or reputable service facility to discuss waterlift muffler service or repair options.
• There was evidence of slight wet exhaust system leaks identified at drain plugs secured to the main engine wet exhaust
system mixing elbow equipment. The surveyor did not observe active leaks during the inspection. Recommend monitor the
locations described to determine the severity of wet exhaust system leaks, and service / adjust or replace wet exhaust
system mixing elbow equipment as required to eliminate leaks. Consult a qualified technician or reputable service facility to
discuss wet exhaust system service needs.

perimeter of the swim platform portion of the hull structure. The staining described is an indication that the fasteners are
suffering from the effects of crevice corrosion. The hull-to-deck joint is located above the vessel’s static floating waterline.
The hull-to-deck joint appeared in structurally sound condition when observed during the inspection. Recommend monitor
the area of the hull-to-deck joint fasteners described to evaluate the severity of the water leaks, and replace fasteners using
marine grade stainless steel equipment & marine adhesive sealant as desired or if condition worsens.
2. There was oil residue identified at the aft sections of the main engine oil pans, and in the vicinity of the main engine turbo
assemblies. The exact source & severity of the oil leaks described was undetermined. Recommend clean oil residue from
engine equipment, clean bilge compartments & place absorbent padding underneath the engines, and monitor for recurring
deficiency. Consult a qualified technician or reputable service facility to discuss service options. Minor oil leaks are not
uncommon when dealing with diesel powered mechanical equipment in a marine environment; however, excessive oil
leakage into bilge compartments can potentially violate Federal pollution laws.

3. There was minor cracking damage identified at the rubber hose used to transfer seawater from the seawater section of the
port engine’s cooling system to the mixing elbow of the wet exhaust system. The hose described appeared in adequate
condition during the inspection. Recommend monitor the condition of the hose described, and renew with marine grade
equipment as condition deteriorates.
4. There was evidence of a slight wet exhaust system leak identified at the fiberglass waterlift muffler equipment serving the
port engine’s wet exhaust system. Salt residue build up identified at the exterior of the muffler equipment is an indication of
a small pinhole leak in the fiberglass. Active leaks were not observed during the sea trial testing procedures. The waterlift
muffler equipment described appeared in adequate condition, and capable of serving its intended purpose. Recommend
monitor the waterlift muffler equipment to determine the severity of the leak described, and repair if leaking persists.
Consult a qualified technician or reputable service facility to discuss waterlift muffler service or repair options.
5. There was evidence of slight wet exhaust system leaks identified at drain plugs secured to the main engine wet exhaust
system mixing elbow equipment. The surveyor did not observe active leaks during the inspection. Recommend monitor the
locations described to determine the severity of wet exhaust system leaks, and service / adjust or replace wet exhaust
system mixing elbow equipment as required to eliminate leaks. Consult a qualified technician or reputable service facility to
discuss wet exhaust system service needs.
6. The vessel was equipped with flooded cell lead acid batteries that require periodic maintenance (addition of distilled water
to battery cells). Power conductors secured to House Bank battery terminal studs were configured in a manner that the
surveyor was unable to open some of the battery cell caps (covers) because the cap mechanism interfered with battery
conductors. The situation described complicates & lengthens routine battery maintenance requirements. Recommend
reconfigure battery conductors & battery terminal connections in a manner that allows for easy removal of battery cell
caps.
7. There was oil covering the base plate of the oil change pump system. It was unclear where the oil leak originated.
Recommend service / adjust or replace oil change pump equipment as required to eliminate oil leaks. Monitor for recurring
deficiency, and service as required.
8. The surveyor was unable to operate the seawater washdown pump system. The water pressure pump described appeared
in above average condition when visually inspected. The source of the deficiency appears to be user error. The “Raw Water
Pump” circuit breaker was turned ON during testing, but the pump was wired to a relay, and it was unclear how to activate
the system. Recommend consult a qualified technician or reputable service facility to discuss washdown pump system
troubleshooting / service options.
9. There was a small amount of red liquid that appeared to be coolant identified in the aft starboard corner of the engine
room bilge compartment. The coolant spill was located directly below the diesel powered hydronic heating system
equipment. The surveyor believes that the coolant spill originated from the heating system equipment described, but there
were no active coolant leaks observed during the inspection. Recommend clean & dry the bilge compartment area
described, place absorbent padding below the heating system equipment, and monitor for recurring deficiency. Adjust or
replace system equipment as required to eliminate coolant leaks.
D. ABYC RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Handheld fire extinguishing equipment found onboard the vessel was fitted with service tags dated 2009.
