Hull preparation

AntiFouling/ Hull

• Significant osmosis issues at time of survey - peel and reassess - dry the hull

• Repair hull as required

• New Barrier coat from Coppercoat - CeramicCoat

• Copper Coat - www.coppercoatusa.com

• UltraSonic AntiFouling System from HullShield

  • 4 Transducer system for hull

  • 1 Transducer system for each of the running gear and the rudder shaft

  • May need an overnight sleep cycle if too loud

Running Gear

• Propeller Shaft - Existing shaft is compromised due to galvanic corrosion and must be replaced

• Cutlass bearing appears to be fine

• Existing shaft seal's clamps are severely corroded - will replace the seal with a dripless seal

• Max Prop - 4 Blade - Although the existing prop was starting to have Galvanic Corrosion issues, the stainless steel shaft acted as it's anode and is serviceable

Other Below the water line

• Thru Holes -

  • Many of the existing through hulls have compromised bonding wires

  • We did not do a complete inventory of fittings to determine function/ serviceability

  • We will replace all with new composite through hulls

  • Once all through hull's have been inventoried and surveyed, fill unneeded holes

    • e.g. the Forward Looking Sonar hole - the device is no longer working

• Sacrificial Anodes - replace all of them - verify proper bonding

Other Above the waterline

• New Decals - www.islandlettering.com

• Repair Dock rash on the Starboard Side

• Remove old decals

• We plan to repaint above the freeboard, as when we deal with the dock rash, that repair will be very visible

• Deck needs to be repaired, repainted - see Fabrication
