COMPLETE MARINE REPAIRS SINCE 1981 September 4, 2012 Re: Condition Report Big N To Whom it May Concern: The following report reflects the condition of the Rudder assembly, Drive train, Flex Exhaust. Ramp and Hull: Rudders Upon removal of the rudder blade, the lower pintel was found to be out of round, the bushing on the heel was worn and out of round. This is causing the rudder blade to contact the base plate. Repair costs were discussed with your representative and repair cost were not in budget. The upper rudder shafts were examined and found to be covered in rust and grime. Subbase Drydock was instructed to remove rudder assembly, consisting of upper rudder bearings, rudder arm, steering (hydraulic) pin.tie rod, and stuffing boxes. Many connecting components were found to be wont, bushings were out of round, and parts severely rusted. Subbase Drydock cleaned all parts. and reinstalled same. Repair costs were discussed and it was determined that repairs were not in budget. The flanges holding the rudder stock to the rudder blade were disconnected and four of the eight bolts were found to he in a non:serviceable state, at this time we are awaiting a decision. Drive train The propellers were removed, coupling removed, shafts removed, stuffing boxes removed, and cutless bearings removed; upon removal all parts were cleaned and inspected. The propellers arc in a satisfactory condition, the shafts are in a satisfactory condition, the stuffing boxes were cleaned and new hoses with clamps were installed, packing was removed and replaced with new. tat: • fax: • • Box 4429 • Parcel 162, Subbase • St. Thomas, USN 00103 EFTA01109751 The stbd coupling was inspected and the key way was not uniform in width Repair costs were discussed and it was determined that repair cost was not in budget. A new step key was fabricated in a attempt to correct the loose fit. 'Ibis repair is not considered to be a correction. The shaft log was found to be worn on the lower portion of the log. (both port and stbd, the port side is in a more advanced state ), this was caused by the engine not being in alignment with the shaft, an attempt was made to correct the alignment on the Port shaft, these two components, without extensive modification. arc not able to comply with industry standards (a rule for non-alignment is approx thousands of a inch, the port alignment is over a 1,2' out on the 12 to 6 o'clock position and at least the same on the 9 to 3 o'clock position). The Stbd drive train is also out of alignment but not as sever. Repair costs were discussed and it was determined that repair cost were not in budget. Subbase l)rvdock recommends that in the near future repairs should be made, if left in this condition sever vibration will cause some part of the drive train tofail. Flex Exhaust Upon removal of the heat covering the flex exhaust flanges were found to be in a deteriorated state, Subbase Drydock was instructed to fabricate new flanges . This was not in our bid and will be a additional cost. The reason the flex part of the exhaust system failed was due to non-alignment , installing the new flex will only work for a short amount of time, once the engine alignment issue is corrected the new Ilex will have to be modified to fit or it will fail again. All of the above repairs are not under warranty. Ramp The underside of ramp on both outboard port and stbd sides showed sever wear to pining. Subbase Dry dock was advised to make repairs in addition to the quoted repairs. This repair is on a time and material basis. After the bottom was pressure washed and sanded. cracks were visible to several areas of the hull, most in the strut area. Repair costs were discussed and a decision was made to do some of the repairs. Repairs are on a time and material basis. All labor costs (other than bottom painting) were recorded and on all areas our repairs were below quoted costs. EFTA01109752 After a review ofall our findings I would budget approx 40k to make the vessel serviceable. This amount is over and above the work already performed.
