Over the years as your hull becomes weathered, gathers barnacles, or is simply in need of repair, it can create drag that will drastically effect the performance of your vessel. In the past you might have had to completely sand down your hull and have it completely repainted. Now at Jarrett Bay we have a new system which can remove these surface defects and leave your topcoat and other custom artwork in tact.
Earlier this week, the Jarrett Bay service yard was the site of an in-depth training session showcasing a great new hull blasting system, known as The Farrow System.

When your boat is hauled, a thorough inspection of all running gear is essential to the proper performance and reliability of your vessel. One key component of the running gear to pay special attention to are the cutlass bearing(s). It is important to check the play in the cutlass bearings and renew them if needed. A common question is “When are new bearings actually needed and what is the proper method of determining when they are needed?” The cutlass bearings clearance to the shaft should be checked using a feeler gauge or dial indicator to determine the existing clearance between the shaft and the bearing materials. A two-inch shaft has the tolerance of a .006″ minimum to a .012″ maximum.

This is how I felt after the first ten minutes of your school on Monday morning – April 11th. I knew I was going to learn from a professional and from a man with years of experience (37+). Thank you for an EXCELLENT course, being such a patient and great instructor, and making we students feel at ease around such a knowledgeable person.

During the 3 day course at the Jarrett Bay Marine Park in Beaufort, attendees plied deeply into the mechanical, electrical & cosmetic details of their new & classic Hatteras Yachts. Jarrett Bay Project Manager Roger Wetherington heads up the program each year, and shares his decades of intimate Hatteras knowledge & expert advice with participants.

Vessel HVAC (heating ventilation and cooling) systems should have regular maintenance preformed. Here are some helpful tips to ensure proper operation and efficiency of your vessel. 
- The return air filters should be cleaned or renewed as required monthly.
- Evaporator coil fins should be cleaned monthly
- It is recommended that the salt water side of the condensing unit should have a chemical flush every year for best results, but no longer than two years between cleaning.
- Sea strainer should be cleaned weekly
- Scale builds up on the interior walls of the condensing coils which reduces efficiency drastically. This condition causes the units to run longer and cycle more frequently thereby significantly reducing the life of the equipment
Contact the Service Department if you have any questions or for a quote to service your air conditioning system today.
