Back On The Hard

Click any Image to enlarge

We needed to haul Wings back out of the water to fix the stern tube (you might remember the story about this problem or the photos).

Working on the Shaft
As soon as we were in the stand we had a tent built inside Wings and I was inside it with a grinder working on the fiberglass.

All Fixed

The engine box doesn't look much better, I'll admit, but everything has been cleaned, refurbished, and repaired, and that included the shaft, stern tube, the flange, packing gland and while we were at it, we also removed and reconditioned the Westerbeke Hydro Hush muffler, which has been untouched for 27 years! It looks fine.


Meanwhile, here are other shots from the boat Yard and Rebak Marina area

We headed out and smack into a bunch of niggling problems. What else would you expect.

Investigating the leak

It's hot in here investigating the source of the leak in the engine bilge, but I found it.

Site

There is water coming in from under the shaft tube. Not an easy place to do a fiberglass repair.

Phi Phi at Dawn

We'll fix the problemn today and go here this afternoon or tommorrow.
