Where do cutters with small boats keep their maintenance records?

• A. Machinery History file
• B. Boat inspection report
• C. Docking logs
• D. Crew manifests

Answer: (A)

Maintenance records for the cutters’ small boats are kept in the Machinery History File. This file serves as the official repository for all service, repairs, and inspections of machinery aboard, providing a complete history that supports scheduled maintenance, life assessment, and compliance during inspections. It captures dates, parts replaced, and technician notes, ensuring you can track the machine’s lifecycle over time. A boat inspection report shows current condition at a specific time, not the full maintenance history. Docking logs record docking events, and crew manifests list personnel aboard.
