Nov 4th 2019 - Pius goes to the dry dock for top maintenance
November 4th, hauled in Genova Sestri for a big month of works.
Sailing fast from Cogolin to escape from a F8 SW, I reached the yard in Genova Sestri. Pius was longer than the quayside ! :/
We began with the hull, sanding 15 years of antifouling. My friend Bepsi is #1
Then we started working on the powerful VOLVO Penta TAMD 41, 6 cylinder Turbo compressed.
You never know how a boat has been maintained previously so I decided to change:
- Raiser
- Engine oil exchanger
- Engine water exchanger
- Engine turbo air intercooler
- Gearbox exchanger
- Fisher Panda 8KW generator water exchanger
- Cleaning and maintenance of the engine starter, power alternator 100A/24V and alternator 12V
After 15 years of use the Gori propeller did not want to break away from its shaft.
She needed some sophisticated repair work by the manufacturer - so we shipped it to Denmark and back to have it done. Expensive but now it's a jewel !
After one month work, time to go back in the water Pius!
