G'day Craig,
A good swing had by all; hoping the same is had by you and the crew!
Recent works completed:
- All bilges (engine and jet rooms) vacuumed, cleaned and soaker pads replaced where necessary yesterday 15/12/15.
- Port genset impellor changed yesterday as it wasnt pumping properly, removed and found only 4 vanes left on impellor! Replaced face plate "o" ring also. No leaks.
- Port forward main engine coolant pump replaced due to leak and engine currently only has water (H20) and no coolant in it as Shaun said that the coolant was dirty. Richard will be down ASAP after Torressian is sorted to replace with coolant or add concentrate.
Ongoing issues:
PORT MACHINERY:
Port Genset: No issues, Impellor replaced 15/12/15. Port Fwd M/E: Coolant pump replaced this swing, small oil and coolant leaks. Port Aft M/E: Coolant leak inboard side.
