Greasing, Leaking & Cat Housing

 Category: Engines, Deck work & Cat

Maintenance/Repair Details: Finally got round to greasing all the grease points on both shaft universal joints, the main shaft bearings and the rudder stocks and joints. 

Also dealt with a large water leak which originated in the centre of the windscreen, travelled along the bottom of the screen on the starboard side, entered the wheelhouse in the front corner then ran along the stbd side dash top dropping smartly on to the onshore power box (!) before running down the wheelhouse side and disappearing into the stbd engine bay. Have now completely renewed the water seal along the total lower edge of the screen.


Lastly, having had a display case especially made to protect our boat mascot who's been with us since  2007. 'Vann', our fake Turkish swimming cat, is safely covered to prolong his 'good looks'. He may be getting on but there's no way he's jumping ship using the age card.
