Friday I spent at the office while we had a marine detailer polish and wax the hull. The weather was to be uncertain, so it looked as though Sunday was the day we would be doing the bottom paint. Well surprise! - it was beautiful today and they were here bright and early to get going.
WHen we took her out this was the condition around various areas of the boat below the water line:
WHen we took her out this was the condition around various areas of the boat below the water line:
Bow Thruster - notice the pitted zinc in the centre
Depth transducer to the left and speed to the right
needs some cleaning
Here is the stainless connection from the bottom of the keel to the bottom of the rudder
The zinc is toast
Aft part of keel, prop and rudder
Zincs - old and new
Friday - Hull all polished
Fresh bottom paint
Looking much better
Boat yard entry. The gate gets closed at dusk.
There we are in the background with a trawler next door
All done
New zincs at the bow thruster
New zinc on the prop shaft
The blades get cleaned up tomorrow
New zinc at the rudder strut
While all the other work was happening, I cleaned up the
swim ladder mechanism. Near the salt water, the stainless
tended to rust in spots - not any more
Our blue stair to the "tree house"
back to the water on Monday
