JonC Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Lifted out today, first time for nearly two years although I changed my anodes on the beach after lockdown part on. Im sitting looking at it, and I need to draw up a battle plan. At least they’ve propped it up nice and high this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make tenders for super yachts. Well one of his guys did it, and the super structure, and tomorrow he’s digging out all the beading and re doing. Then all the teak is being stripped and treated.

Yeah, you've had a rollercoaster of a week really, going from a broken boat with a sieve for a hull to a polished diamond ready for the salt. Reckon you deserve a cold one (or two, or three 😁) Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 I only had a couple of hours this afternoon, so I cleaned up the rudder and skeg For this I used a combination of the silicone carbide polishing wheel and a wire brush wheel on a 4” grinder Before it goes back in the water I will cover both in a thin layer of white grease.

JonC Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 I also noticed a bit of play in my shaft, this is caused by wear on the cutlass bearing. That’s the rubber bit that goes inside the prop tunnel. Not sure what caused it, maybe it got a little warm or perhaps my shaft a little bit bent. Either way it’s an easy job once the prop is off. If the prop can lifted a little bit then that’s wrong and needs replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
