A proper preventive maintenance program for deck equipment such as anchor winches should include an inspection for excessive corrosion. When you identify an area of excessive corrosion so that it can be properly corrected and not just painted over? That’s a Good Catch! In this context, your Managers are pleased to present the latest instalment of the Club’s Good Catch initiative: • 26th Layer of Paint Eliminates the Need for Bolts (Preventative Maintenance) available in English as well as in new and traditional Mandarin. As a reminder, all Good Catch alerts and animations are posted at the Club’s website at: https://www.american-club.com/page/good_catch Your Managers recommend that Members take note of this information and be guided accordingly.
