10 Month Maintenance Summary - Vanuatu to New Zealand

It has been ten months since I posted the last maintenance summary in Vanuatu.  The output from my spreadsheet is at the bottom of the blog post but here is the summary of the more significant items.

Improvements:

Maintenance on a cruising boat is pretty relentless but it is nice to be able to do some improvements rather than just trying to tread water.

- New 12 kW (41,000 BTU/Hr) Eberspacher hydronic diesel heater to heat all three cabins, the saloon and the domestic water.  Yes, you heard correctly, hot water ! Very luxurious.  We have it partly installed now - we have heat to the saloon, the aft cabin and to the domestic water.  The rest we will put in before we leave the tropics again as well as adding details like thermostats in each cabin.   Interesting installation.     We bought it from a company that does not normally deal with boats and their recommended installer had never put in any type of heater before.   The installer were experienced boat builders and good folks but it would have cost a fortune to pay them them to learn how to install it and really it is all within the DIY level if perhaps tedious. Ironically, the two companies that were the most help were the ones that logistics made it impractical to hire.  Malcom of Aquaplumb in Auckland was a great help.  Over coffee one morning on Fluenta he talked us through the design and then showed me through an install he was putting into a big motor boat over at the Viaduct.  The other great resource was Cliff of NW Marine Air.  He also helped us a lot with the design and we look forward to being closer to his operation when we get over to his neighbourhood to have our heater looked over.

- New to us Honda 20HP Four Stroke.  Friends of ours upgraded and were days away from leaving New Zealand for French Polynesia and it still had not sold.  Our old 15 HP could now longer get the tender up on a plane with the whole family onboard and was 16 years old.  My epoxy repair of the carburetor bowl had held for two years but I was starting to look at replacing the carburetor and other expensive parts.  A newer outboard started to look very attractive ... As a bonus, it is so much quieter, fuel efficient and pollutes less.  Also more complicated so I have bought the shop manual for it and made sure I did the annual maintenance myself here in NZ in case I had any problems.

- Mostly connected with the heater installation, but we also added a thermostatic valve to the hot water tank so the hot water coming out to the taps is below scalding.  Previously the "hot" water was either cold if we had not run the engine recently or about 80C (scalding time of 1/4 to 1/2 a second depending on which reference you use) if we had run the engine.

- Battery watering system:  not a big project but nice to have.  Rather than topping up each of our eight flooded batteries individually, I can now fill them at one of three fill spots without having to pull the vents apart.  As half of our house bank is under our bunk this is a nice improvement.

- 40 Amp 240 Hz 50Hz battery charger.  Again, not very exciting at first glance but it is really nice to be able to plug into the shore power on those rare dock visits.  It is "dual power" so it can also work on 120V 60Hz and as such provides a backup to our 100A charger that we use with the Honda generator.

Larger Maintenance Projects

Hard to define what is "larger" rather than just maintenance required to keep us operational but here are some of the bigger or more expensive projects:

- Easy but expensive: the three year service of the liferaft.  Nothing was wrong but holy cow is that expensive.
- Easy but also expensive: replaced our 300 ft of anchor chain.  The previous chain was only four years old but was flaking so badly we did not feel comfortable just regalvanizing it.  Considering we are at anchor more often than not by a large margin this seemed like a good investment.  A specialist chain and rope company was able to import some imperial size chain from Italy to avoid us having to change the windlass gypsy too.
- Replaced six thru hulls and sea cocks with Tru Design reinforced plastic ones.  These are not going to corrode !  A reminder if you use their thru hulls you need to add the reinforcing collar for them to  ABYC compliant.
- Had all of the cockpit and dodger canvas restiched.
- Had all of the sails surveyed and repaired as required. Twice in fact as the first time they only did the survey and forgot to do the repairs. The sailmaker was very apologetic, came to where we sailed to,  and did the repairs personally.
- Liz used a borrowed sewing machine to put new covers on our cockpit cushions and completely restiched our dingy chaps.  The old cockpit cushions had been ripping for about three years and the material was so shot the patches had nothing to attach to anymore. The old dingy chaps were hilarious before the repair - almost every seam of the finest Mexican thread had let go - and flapped like a threadbare ghost as we (tried) to zoom by.
- Liz and the kids reskinned the bottom of our old rhib.
- The Torrid hot water tank had developed a small leak.  Wendall and I were able to wrestle it out iof its mounting location and get it into the boatyard's DIY workshop.  With a really big impact driver we were able to finally remove and replace the anode, clean out the gunk that had accumulated over 14 years and even put it back into the boat without leaks.  Sounds easy but ... it wasn't.  We had great support from Torrid during the whole process.
- My seven year old Spinlock was falling apart, and using some birthday money, I bought a two year old but unused Spinlock lifejacket with a AIS MOB unit.

New anchor chain.  The old chain did not only look bad it had flaked so badly I could measure a difference between the link diameters.  Certainly not worth trying to regalvanize.

Liz recovered our cushions.  Our old ones were so tired the patches had nothing to attach to.

Here is the output from my spreadsheet.  I have cleaned it up a bit by removing some of the less interesting columns.  Some of these items are quick jobs - check the engine zincs for example - whereas others such as the heater installation took weeks.
