• We had to ID and buy many different filters – over 2 dozen kinds. That data is so big it now lives in Excel spreadsheet
• Oil and Coolant Rebuilt both Reverso oil change pumps so I could do the oil changes

• Emptied and refurbished 2 cockpit fuel tanks
• Polished and saved 150 gallons of diesel with a home built system of vane pump, Racor filter and 55 gallon drums. (from the fuel leaking incident mentioned above)
• Installed new gas station pump for dinghy and waverunner. Yes, we have gas for our toys! Correct ventilation blower installed as well for the lazzerette.

• I am sure there is more but you get the drift.  

While I was working on all this Angela was working on the interior updating.  (Upcoming blog in the works!)

Here is the work list with a bit of discussion:

Top side painting, Fly bridge to deck including cockpit and cranes

Remove, restore and reinstall dinghy cradles in new positions. This was done to renew worn non-skid on top deck flybridge for safety, looks, to stop cracks and leaks and to better arrange the toys on top

Clean, scrape, repair bottom with epoxy coat, bottom paint and boot stripe. The old bottom paint was worn out and needed stripping. Blisters and crack repairs were needed to preserve the hull.  2 coats of West System Barrier epoxy will be applied before the Pettit brand hard blue bottom paint.

Upholstery cushions on bow and flybridge. Updating worn and discolored vinyl cushions with Sunbrella. Along with cockpit bolsters. We haven’t seen these yet just pictures in process. 

Varnish railing, doors, flybridge bench seating rails, sapphire deck bench seats.  Many coats! new veneer here and there. Improves looks and preservation of the teak wood. Rebed and repair Bow spray rails. We had a small leak to stop. These were bolted on and we found hidden damage from previous owners. This was causing problems as both the hull and spray rails were cracked and leaking. After good structural repairs with West System epoxy we will have a nice looking, functional bow again.

Repack and install new packing box hoses on main shafts, rebed one strut.  Poor work by a prior yard is being proven out.  I feel a claim coming. Prop shafts and bearings and couplers all being cleaned up and repaired.

Restore pitted rudder shafts, rebed rudder glands, install new bearings. This was to fixing leaking and poorly repaired rudder shaft seals, and replace worn out rudder shaft cutlass bearings 

Complete overhaul of the Naiad Stabilizer Actuators and seals. Chris Ponce had the lead on this for Lance Lage’s MTU team. The stabilizers had begun to ooze grease once again as forecast. As they came apart we could see a complete overhaul was in order. The shafts and numerous other worn parts were replaced and the good parts were stripped and repainted or refinished to new condition.  This was a couple of weeks of very careful detailed expert work that I greatly appreciate. Chris also was a big help with steering leaks, oil hoses and generator exhaust as well.
