Purpose
People credited with this unit standard are able to: take account of boat
characteristics when making installation, repair and maintenance decisions;
explain the possible effects of installation, repair and maintenance between
boat systems; and demonstrate the housekeeping and safety skills required
when working on boats.
This unit standard is primarily for tradespeople and others with land-based
skills who wish to transfer those skills into the marine environment. This unit
standard is applicable to such systems as: electrical and electronic,
hydraulic, pneumatic, motive power, fuel, plumbing, refrigeration, air
conditioning, internal and external finishing, steering, and physical
construction systems.

The following applies to the performance of all elements of this unit standard:
All activities must meet recognised codes of practice and documented worksite
health and safety procedures (where these exceed code) for personal, product, and
worksite health and safety and environmental matters, and must meet the obligations
required under the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, and the Resource
Management Act 1991, and subsequent and delegated legislation.
Elements and performance criteria
Element 1
Take account of boat characteristics when making installation, repair, and maintenance
decisions.
Performance criteria
1.1
Comparisons of the physical characteristics of boats and buildings establish the
characteristics of boats that can impact on marine installation, repairs, and
maintenance.
Range
1.2
Installation, repair, and maintenance decisions are made on the basis of
assessments of boat construction method, materials, condition, and
accessibility.
Range
1.3
room temperature vulcanising sealants (RTVs), chemical reacting
sealants, non-curing sealants.
Datum points and lines are established to enable components to be aligned to
client’s specifications.
Range
1.5
examples of decisions are – drilling, routing of services, and
selection and use of materials.
Sealants and mechanical waterproofing systems are explained in terms of their
uses and compatibility with other materials.
Range
1.4
complex shaped surfaces, non-level and non-vertical flat surfaces,
buoyancy, non-cavity partitions.
methods – line and blocks, offset templates.
Decisions regarding the location of installations are made without detriment to
the boat’s design performance.

Element 2
Explain the possible effects of installation, repair, and maintenance between boat systems.
Performance criteria
2.1
Analysis of available working space determines the requirements of allied
trades for access, and non-interference of systems.
Range
2.2
Identification of other systems which draw on the same resources as the system
being worked on enables decisions to be made that prevent damage to
systems.
Range
2.3
access for – installation, repair, maintenance, use of equipment;
examples of interference – friction, electrical and signal
interference.
resources include but are not limited to – electricity, water,
hydraulic and pneumatic pressure.
Permission is gained from authorised people before altering the settings of
unfamiliar items and installations.
Element 3
Demonstrate the housekeeping and safety skills required when working on boats.
Performance criteria
3.1
Actions taken ensure personal and equipment safety, and the integrity of the
boat.
Range
actions include but are not limited to – eliminating or minimising
hazards within own area of competence, reporting of situations
that are potentially hazardous or potentially compromise boat
integrity, compliance with safety, evacuation, and other
requirements and procedures.
3.2
Apparent faults, problems, and hazards outside the individual’s own area of
expertise are clarified with authorised people before proceeding with the task in
hand.
3.3
Reporting of own work progress is carried out to ensure maintenance of
essential boat services.
Range
starts, stops, delays, completion.
Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.

Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
