The First Haulout

Hauling out Silent Partner for underwater repairs

Pressure Washing (Kristen helping)

Topsides damages

Bowsprit primarily undamaged

Bobstay Fitting Bent

Hullside Scrapings

Prop, Shaft, and Rudder. Shaft is "slightly" bent.

Underwater damages, cracks in hull were suprisingly shallow, only a couple layers into the fiberglass of a hull that's over 1" thick isn't too troubling.

Grinding out cracks for repairs.

Removing Rudder bolts for inspection. All were in good order and replaced and nuts resiezed with thin stainless wire.

Stuffing box and engine room (with new yanmar 4 cylinder diesel with 12.5 hours, more later...). The pics look messy but the engine room isn't all that bad. Included are proper bus bars (though need some terminal cleaning), two new vetus brand inline water lift mufflers, Balmar digital duo charge battery isolater for house/engine battery seperation, balmar 100amp series 60 alternator with balmar electronic regulator including battery and alternator temperature monitering. Pur powersurvivor water maker, new 12v refridgeration compressor, old 120vac air conditioning compressor, spare parts, emergency tiller, 4 deep cycle 6v house batteries, and other equipment. The engine systems also include large bronze seawater strainer, dual racor fuel/water seperating filters with crossover valve and vaccum gauges, and other such things.

Cutless Bearing needs replacing

The Prop, bent a little but nothing bad. Propeller was almost new, probably replaced with new engine. Prop was reworked by Independence Propeller easily and now performs well.
