Engineering Design - Motorboat analysis, system condition monitoring and maintenance

Abstract

The reliability on a motorboat is always high, for instance, if you are in the middle of an ocean you don't want your engine to break down. And because the maintainability affects the reliability, the maintainability has to be easy, quickly accessible and possible everywhere. Nowadays, all parts of the engine are easily accessible, the hull is the only thing that is hard to repair when a failure occurs. However, the engine is more exposed to failure than the hull.
