Civic.ly builds in checklists for inspecting a boat, and your team can use whichever suits them. They appear in the checklist picker for the matching asset type, and any fault raises a defect automatically.
Before you use this checklist: you don't build these — they're built in and matched to your assets. To put one on someone's phone, create an inspection (or a job) on the asset and pick the checklist. A checklist only appears for the right asset type. See How to Use a Checklist.

Common Questions
