[Public-List] Marine Survey

[Mike Lehman]

I never understood the need for battery boxes when the batteries are under the cabin sole (basically in a box) and strapped down. Why does one need a plastic box too?

> Hello friends - 
> 
> SURPRISE endured her periodic 1/2 decade insurance condition survey... I was
> pleased (well a little surprised) to learn that I did a good job of the
> cockpit core repair, my #2 fuel tank installation was good, and my decks
> aren¹t as bad as I feared they would be. The only real horror/surprise
> embarrassing moment was the discovery that the orange cylindrical flare
> pistol kit was full of water. Can¹t imagine how that happened other than
> guessing that a drip from the leaking genoa track was landing right on the
> seam of the canister.
> 
> My areas of concern were not unexpected... Water has crept into the core
> around the chainplates port and starboard; the electric wiring fitting
> beside the mast step, and I got instructions to find a way to put my
> batteries into proper boxes. At the moment they are under the cabin sole;
> strapped down, but there is no room there for boxes. I¹ll have to do some
> head scratching about that one.
> 
> The work was done by Nicole McLoughlin of Kingston Ontario. I first met her
> many years ago when she was a petty officer aboard STV PATHFINDER. She was
> meticulous and professional, clearly highly skilled and has a high degree of
> respect for more traditional yachts.
> 
> Now ­ I have to get SURPRISE in the water... Maybe next week.
