Recent Upgrades
2020:
September: New Nanni N4.50 engine and ZF 15M transmission installed. This is the second new engine installed by Robert Kleid due to incorrect installation of first engine in 2017 by incompetent mechanic. A cooling water vent loop was not installed on the first engine raw water system and after 23.5 hours of operation the engine waterlocked. Also, the diesel return hose was not connected to first engine and allowed fuel to go into the bilge. The first engine control panel was used for the second engine, thus the Hour Meter read 23.5 hours when installed.
September: Boat prepared for shipping at Hinkley Yacht Services, Stamford CT and transported to Bowleys Marina, Middle River, MD.

Reconfigured sanitation system to eliminate direct overboard from head, thus eliminating one of two Y-valves, which also eliminated head to holding tank vent loop. Now all sanitation goes directly to the holding tank and holding tank is emptied via deck pump out or overboard via new Jabsco 50890-1000 electric sanitation pump with new Groco vent loop. Y-valve located under the starboard side of V-Berth.

March: Replaced ¾ inch engine raw water thru-hull fitting, street elbow, seacock, and hose with 1 ¼ inch scoop style thru-hull strainer, street elbows, seacock, 1 ¼ to 1 inch nipple and 1 inch hose to raw water strainer under galley sink. Nanni installation guide specifies 1 ¼ inch hose, but 1 ¼ hose will not fit under galley floor.

Old ¾ inch hose had a thru-hull fitting with only a ½ inch diameter opening.

2024:
January: Replaced 200 feet of 5/8 inch Bruce anchor rode rope

April: New cartridge in Shower faucet, Previous cartridge was leaking. Leak could have been from Loose cap
2025:
March: Replaced old frozen spud style propeller shaft Stuffing Box with new Buck Algonquin model 00PB125 spud style box. Installation required cutting off propeller shaft coupling and replaced with new Buck Algonquin model 50400B1250 split coupling.
September: New Nanni N4.50 engine and ZF 15M transmission installed. This is the second new engine installed by Robert Kleid due to incorrect installation of first engine in 2017 by incompetent mechanic.
