| Comments: The engines and transmissions were visually inspected. The engines and transmissions were inspected during a sea trial, offshore San Diego. The port engine had just completed a rebuild. The engines ran and the transmission functioned normally. Wide open throttle of all three engines was 2300, 2200, and 2300 rpms, per the tachometers, and top speed of the vessel was 20 knots. The center and starboard engines indicated overload error messages at wide open throttle. There was repeated “53” fault codes, which the mechanic believes requires two new electronic control modules on the port engine. He stated that the computers for the center and starboard engines have been replaced. There was a hydraulics technician aboard the vessel during the sea trial; he was trying to sort a problem with the hydraulic system, specifically a problem apparently resulting from failure of the center engine’s hydraulic pump’s bypass solenoid. At the end of the sea trail the starboard engine died, apparently due to drawing fuel from the bottom of the aft tank, and plugging the filters. The mechanic believes that the engines were rebuilt six years ago; however there is no precise documentation. The port engine’s digital hour meter indicates 6505 with the center and starboard engine hour meters indicating 18. The center and starboard engines’ electronic control modules were reportedly just replaced and the hours on the meters are reflecting time since those computers were replaced. The external surfaces and peripheral components of the engines and transmissions appear good. There are miscellaneous minor fluid leaks on all of the engines and stains below the engines. The engine controls functioned normally. The captain reports they were tested from all stations recently. The exhaust system is properly arranged and installed. There is staining on the starboard engine’s outboard exhaust hose to tube connection, indicative of a weep or leak. A wire is disconnected from a sender on top of the starboard transmission. The propulsion components including the propellers, propeller shafts, struts and shaft seals were visually inspected. Overall the propulsion components are in good condition. The steering system was visually inspected and test operated. The steering system functioned normally. Minor corrosion was noted on the rudders and there are no sacrificial zinc anodes for the struts or bonded below waterline metal components. The sacrificial zinc anodes currently are installed on the rudders and propeller shafts only. The bonding system is being replaced and two sacrificial zinc anodes are being installed on the transom. The starboard rudder had just been installed prior to our inspection and the center rudder was out at the time of our initial inspection. The engine room blower was energized. The generator was visually inspected, test operated and loaded. The generator functioned normally. The through hulls were visually inspected and the valves were manipulated. The through hulls are in good condition. The seawater systems were visually inspected and most components were tested. Overall, the seawater systems are good condition. The electric bilge pumps were energized manually. |

SUMMARY
The vessel is a composite fiberglass flybridge cockpit motor yacht build in North Carolina, USA. The current owner is the original and sole owner. The captain reports that the vessel suffered damage in a storm in 2014 and spent three years being repaired at Driscoll Boatworks, Shelter Island, San Diego, CA. Among work that was performed was new upholstery, new LED lights with wires, new entertainment devices, new HVAC system, new water makers, new stabilizer system, new starboard generator and rebuilt port generator, fire and bilge systems were renewed and the vessel left Driscoll Boatworks in February of 2018. Subsequently the vessel had a problem with the port engine. Prior to the sea trail the port engine was rebuilt by McConnell Marine. During the sea trial the engines and transmissions functioned normally. The vessel is well suited for its intended purpose as a coastal cruising vessel.
Overall Summary: Good

RECOMMENDATIONS |
| These recommendations are the surveyor’s ideas and suggestions for addressing deficiencies with damaged or suspect components or systems found during survey or general improvements. The primary recommendations address safety items, structural issues, operational issues or deficiencies which the surveyor determines are of greater importance or more expense than secondary deficiencies. For instance, items that pose a risk to passenger safety or immediate property damage are listed under primary deficiencies and cosmetic concerns are addressed under secondary deficiencies. Most of the recommendations have been addressed in the comments and usually they are discussed at the time of the inspection. |
PRIMARY
- Consult with a qualified expert to determine options with a respect to water found in the transom coring and address as necessary. Refer to attached Hatteras through hull installation instructions as necessary.
- Replace the strut for the lifting steps / hatch into the crew area, the current strut is weak and will not hold the steps up.
- Assure that all components are properly secured before the vessel goes to sea, including several stacks of natural rock tiles to starboard in the lazarette.
- Reconnect the wire to the sending unit on the starboard transmission.
SECONDARY
- Address the various and miscellaneous fluid leaks on the engines, clean the bilge space below the engines to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
- Determine the significance of the staining on the starboard engine’s outboard exhaust hose to tube connection, eliminate any weep or leak. Clean staining to allow detection of any future weep or leak.
- Complete the various services underway including steering system, spa, bonding system.
- Address the loose blower motor in the forward bilge space.
- Indicate the date for the EPIRB’s hydrostatic release on the flybridge.
- Either return the fire equipment to the lockers labeled “fire equipment locker” or remove the stickers to prevent confusion in the event of a fire.
- Assure the tenders’ “gas station” complies with applicable ABCY and NFPA recommendations.
- Eliminate the repeated fault code, “53” on the engine instruments. Repetitious fault codes can cause complacency.
- Address the intermittent alarm on the thruster system; eliminate the cause of the alarm.
- Assure that the fuel and tanks are clean and suitable for continued use. The starboard engine’s fuel filters were plugged as a result of drawing fuel from the aft tank which was nearly empty.
- As the center and starboard engines overloaded at wide open throttle, 100% load, heed the mechanics suggestion and operate engines up to 90% – 95% as their top end to prevent overload.
