 Day 3

Came in the morning and found dock bridge sank, no way to get to the boat.

After an hour of attempts to pull bridge from under the dock and calling people from other side we found dinghy and about 11 am i get to the boat.
 

So only 6 hours left to do something.

#1 Cleaned galley "wall" cabinet from rotted plywood

Before


 in progress


All crap is removed.


Wall frame left to use as template


#2 Checked how much water damage around chain plates. Drilled 5 test holes from inside. - about 10 inches is empty. will look how i will repair. Likely just replace core injecting fiber stuffed epoxy putty around chain plates. Will see..

#3 measured a lot of stuff requiring replacement

#3.1 ports (open and fixed)

#3.2 companionway frames

#

#3.4 companionway hatch

 

#3.5 Chainplates dimensions.

(record is in the work notebook)

#4 Inspected bulkheads

Port side bulkhead for some reason consist of 2 parts connected with solid wood shim on 10-16 wood screws. Replaced part (or just smaller part) is attached to inner liner with 2 ~M6 screws.However bulkhead is in very good condition, but Some work required. Starboard bulkhead  minor damage near deck. ~1".

Bulkheads is not attached to side of hull.Tabbing must be redone on both bulkheads. 

#5 Sump pump box

Check fit of new pump.



Pump fits good but need to figure out how to connect pump to discharge hose.

Hose has to have 90 degrees 2 turns.

Hose is about OD 0.9" ID 0.6"

Sump box top size 13"x9-5/8", thickness 0.17"

Day 183 1/5/25 Take engine home.

Engine Take engine from the boat and move to home garage. Easy to say, hard to do. Water level in the lake now is 40ft below normal level. And total height drop between parking lot and docks about 70-80ft.  Marina has no lift, ramp or crane to move something more than 200 lb up way. Only way is very long stairs with 140 steps.   View form the parking lot...    Staircase we climbed up. Yes, you can see the lift, but it is only 200lb capacity and no way to use. Picture was made on the middle of the process. Based on engine spec it has to weight 400 lb. It is a lot but should be more or less bearable weight for 3-4 people. Challenge was accepted, but looks like it is heavy enough to do a problem ;-) Moving from boat to dock was very easy, just hook chain hoist to boom lift it  and swing boom to the dock. put on a dolly and roll it to staircase. After an hour of planning we (My son and I) decided to use blocks and ropes to slide it up. We mounted engine on the plywo...

 Deck Spent a day to wipe all to clean, then de-greaser, then solvent, and then priming.  Surface area is not too big, but still be ~400 sq.ft.    I did wiping and cabin top at one day, cockpit and area next to toe rails in second one. Primed only area plan to paint glossy. non-skid paint does not require priming, just washing with detergent, but it will be later.  Observed two problems  first - rolling and tipping leaving brush marks  even when 25% solvent added. Second - (actually helps to maintain first) I need second layer because  one layer of primekote does not covering well. So, I plan one more gallon of primer and one mode day to of sanding and one more day of priming.   End of day1     End of day 2
