SERVICE and maintenance projects

A full raw water system flush, has just been completed on this beautiful 52 ft motor yacht. 

Cooling tubes on raw water heat exchangers, gearbox coolers, charge air coolers etc, can become blocked with scale, various debris, sea weed and pieces of corroded anodes. 

In this case, after accessing the level of restriction, a full flush was decided on, to clean the system. 

In severe cases, various coolers sometimes need to be removed from the vessel completely and be descaled manually and/or by an acid bath in a workshop. 

No project too big or too small  

In this case, the generator raw water intake on this georgous 51ft fly bridge motor yacht, was subject to clogging with sea weed, as there were two 90 degree bends in the sea water line. 

To eliminate the two bends, required the sea strainer to be rotated through 90 degrees and permanently repositioned, with both 90 degree elbows replaced by straight fittings. A simple and very effective fix!

The Powder Coating on this windlass unfortunately had deteriorated quite badly and allowed salt water to ingress under the coating. The windlass was removed from the vessel, sanded back to bare metal and recoated with 2-pak coatings. The end result is a smooth glossy finish and considerably extended life of the windlass. 

I have recently completed delivery of the beautiful 90 foot Cheoy Lee, "Robert Bruce" from Hobart to the Gold Coast. 

Future deliveries of vessels from the Whitsundays and Sydney are scheduled to take place over the next couple of months.

Stay tuned for further updates and photos!!
