Maintenance 2011
On april th 28th we had a very succesfull launch.
The winter of 2011 there were a lot of long term maintenance issues on the list that we liked to tackle.
The good news is that we managed to get it all done with the help of the season opening customer Mark. The standard maintenance and winterising Erofili was done when she was hauled out in November 2010, so mainly oil & filters and taking the sails down.
Here is a list of the bigger items we did this spring 2011:
- dismount the engine for cleaning & paint job
- replace all rubber hoses on the engine
(apart from 2 that need to be ordered from Yanmar)
- disassembled the propeller shaft for check-up
- replaced the shaft seal and support bushing
- send Genoa an Main sail out for regeneration
- a new layer of anti fouling
- anchor winch serviced: new gibsy, replaced oil, repaired stop and chain catcher
- cleaning diesel tank on port side and closing a leak in one of the manholes.
- cleaning bilges under diesel tanks including a fresh layer of paint
- reconstruction of shower drain system
(the old started leaking in the bilge under the diesel tanks) & a fresh layer of paint
- moving the 'wet' bilge pump up to become the shower drain pump
- installed a new 'dry' bilge pump with higher capacity under the sink
- checked all windows for leaks, replacing rubbers on the handles
