Q7. Explain how EACH of the following hull defects should be dealt with; A. A cracked weld; B. A severe indentation in way of a frame; C. Surfaces suffering from general corrosion although the extent of wastage does not warrant plate replacement; D. A bilge head fractured at the forward end.;
Q8. A. As a second engineer, how often would you check holding-down bolts to ascertain that they are tight? What methods are used to check tightness?
B. If soon after joining a motor ship, you found a number of holding down bolts slack and fretting to have occurred in the area of slack bolts describe how you would handle the situation?
Q9. During normal engine operation, a turbocharger rapidly loses speed and the speed reduction is accompanied by appreciable noise - A. State with reasons the possible causes. B. Explain in detail how the engine might be safely operated if the damage caused by this incident is such that the turbocharger cannot function. C. State with reasons the factors which may limit engine operating speed with the turbocharger out of action.
