More Adventures in Maintenance - A Summary of the Last 12 Months

at the sunset of our travels ... another maintenance period ...

The saying goes that cruising is maintenance in exotic locations.  There is certainly a lot more to it than, that but the truth is that there is a considerable amount of maintenance to keep any boat - old, new, sail, power - operating.  Add in the fact that we live aboard as a family full time and that we cover a considerable number of miles every year (and it seems like the miles are rarely downwind in the trades) there is lots to keep up with.

We had two main maintenance periods this year: an unplanned but productive one in Fiji, and our recent one here in the Marshall Islands.

The Fiji haulout was precipitated by finding that one of our thru-hulls was ever so slightly weeping.  We were over in the NE side of Fiji in Savusavu preparing to head north to the Marshall Islands so instead we sailed (two days) over to the west side of Fiji to haulout at Vuda Marina.  There we replaced most of the thruhulls that had not been replaced the previous year in New Zealand.  Since we were out of the water anyway, and expecting to cover lots of miles to get to BC, we also redid the anti-fouling and serviced the Maxprop.  We wrote it about is here:  Scheduled Birthday & Unscheduled Haulout

December -  living the glamorous cruising life in the boatyard in Fiji.

The Majuro maintenance period has been focused on preparing the boat for Alaska:

• Catching up on rebedding deck fittings that have shown any slightest evidence of leaking.  Rebedding involves removing the old, usually metal, fitting from the deck, cleaning all the surfaces, and reinstalling the fitting with fresh adhesive.  This sounds easy, and it normally is, but the complication is that all the fittings are "thru-bolted" so that someone needs to access the nuts on the inside of the boat during the installation and re-installation.  Gaining this access means storage areas need to emptied and cabinetry removed.  You can imagine that this was lots of fun while we were still living onboard!  Often the bolts get mangled in the process, so we replaced most of the fasteners as we went.  I should have bought stock in "Ace Hardware" as I spent a lot of time there buying bolts, washers and nuts.  In fact, it appears that I have bought every 1/4" nut in Majuro!
• Adding insulation to much of the boat and Hydrovent matting under the mattresses.
• Adding a heat exchanger to the heater coolant loop so that we can use the engine to heat the boat and make hot water.  Thank you Sure Marine for all the help.  More to follow in a separate blog post on the heater project. 
• Running the heating system to the front of the boat by running another 40' feet of hose and electrical wire, and drilling numerous new holes for them to run through.
• Ensuring all the preventative maintenance is done to reduce dramas on the long passage north, including doing all the scheduled engine maintenance, even if it is early according to the schedule.
• Days and days and days of re-stitching seams and sticking patches on our sails
• Rebuilding our wind generator, whose charge controller died and then caused the rotor to overspeed, melting much of the wiring.  We spent a fortune on a shiny new charge controller that after hours of troubleshooting we found out was defective.  We now are using a simple bridge rectifier to connect our three phase wind generator to the 12 V DC circuit.
• Troubleshooting, and eventually replacing the solenoid on, our autopilot (including flushing and replacing all the fluid) after it locked up while we were crossing the Majuro lagoon. 

It was rather exciting when the autopilot refused to disengage as we arrived into Majuro in January.  We replaced the solenoid and then a few months later it failed again.  Turns out the hydraulic fluid had developed its own ecosystem in the heat despite being less than two years old.  A fun job in Ailuk to flush the system out.  We bought out the entire stock of the appropriate hydraulic fluid that was available in Majuro !

Expanding the heater to the front of the boat.  Another 40' of heater hose installed while we were in Ailuk.

The temporary control panel for the heater system.  The controls are now mounted on a proper panel alongside the Webasto heater controls.

Liz up the mast sewing the leach of the genoa.  After a few hours we realised we needed to drop the sail and do it on deck instead.

Sewing the edge of the genoa back on deck (over a month later when the winds finally dropped).  Johnathan was a big help, and sewing is a great activity for one-on-one conversations!

Liz modeling her new Woolx shirt - and repairing the main.  There wasn't much of a seat close by, so she's perched on a jerry can with a little bit of insulation for a cushion.

Johnathan is quite a competent sail repairer.

Some long days ... using the Speedy Stitcher to repari the bimini.

Victoria adding a Dyneema chafe guard to one of our spinnaker halyards.

It was a whole-crew effort to replace the mast track insert - I went up the mast, Victoria fed it in at the base and Liz & Johnathan operated the winch.  Benjamin supervised himself out of the way.  Thank you Pompanette for the quick work getting us the replacement.

Melted wind generator wires.

Mostly replaced wind generator wiring (although I was not able to get the correct new brushes - I did get shipped the incorrect brush assembly though but that was not much help)

The old wind generator charge controller was likely the cause factor in the demise of the wind generator's wiring so we had a very expensive replacement shipped in.  Mounting it was interesting as it is slightly bigger so we needed to move where two of the solar charge controllers were located.  Then it turned out that the new charge controller was defective so we are just using a simple bridge rectified instead.

And then the rebedding ...  We were suspicious that this window was leaking a bit at sea.  Taking it out took an entire day followed by several days to repair the fiberglass before installing the window again.

Johnathan passing up another window to remount.  The adhesive - 3M 4000UV - gets everywhere.

More rebedding and winch maintenance.

and more rebedding ...

This photo got lots of attention on Facebook as this is how Liz spent Mothers Day.  Rebedding more deck hardware.

Beefing up one of the deck boxes after we found some dry rot.  Nothing a bit of epoxy cannot fix.

Johnathan taking apart the outboard's carburetor. 

and servicing his grandmother's old sewing machine.

and Benjamin helping by controlling the reverse switch.

Victoria trying to progress grade 10 while we still have internet despite the chaos around her.

Benjamin too is looking forward to the maintenance period being done.

Somehow despite working pretty relentlessly on this Majuro work period it has taken about six weeks.  That is a lot of rebedding ... It is getting hotter here - it is 30C (86F) by 0900 and the sea temperature is over 30C (86F) so it does not cool off much.

As we have done at regular intervals, please find below an output from our maintenance spreadsheet.  I have cleaned the data up a little and added colour codes showing whether is was an improvement, scheduled or other preventative maintenance or corrective maintenance (i.e. something broke).
