6. Checks the independent thrust-bearing lube-oil cooler inlet and outlet temperatures, where appropriate;
7. Checks the independent thrust-bearing lube-oil supply pressure, where appropriate;
8. Checks the independent thrust-bearing gravity- head tank level, where appropriate;
9. Checks the water-lubricated stern-tube stuffing box for proper leak-off, where appropriate;
10. Checks the oil-lubricated stern-tube lube sump tank level where appropriate;
11. Checks the oil-lubricated stern-tube lube-oil pressure where appropriate;
