§ 1700.19 Controllable pitch propeller hydraulic fluid.

(a) The protective seals on controllable pitch propellers must be maintained to minimize the leaking of hydraulic fluid.

(b) To the greatest extent practicable, maintenance activities on controllable pitch propellers must be conducted when a vessel is in drydock. If maintenance and repair activities must occur when the vessel is not in drydock, appropriate spill response equipment (e.g., oil booms) must be used to contain and clean any oil leakage.
