The Island packet is a superbly built yacht. I can not say the same for those who ultimately commissioned her for our use. All of the issues we have had with the boat has turned out to be with the equipment added at commissioning or things done at commissioning. The latest issues have been:
All is now well with the panel although the light bar on the B Bus will be replaced and tagged next week.
- Failure of the circulating pump in our hydronic heating system. The pump was a cheap one and it has totally failed. The replacement is a robust pump that you can service and not just throw away. The wiring for the pump was poorly executed and this was corrected for durability when we repalced the pump.
- The AC panel was badly done, so we activated the 2nd bus (Bus B) and redistributed the load. part of the problems we found were the number of connections to a point that really only allowed for a maximum of 2 connectors, a burned out neutral board and a connection to the galvanic isolator that was poorly done.
