Hauled out on Dec 12.
The crew brought Searcher to Al Larson Boat Yard in San Pedro on Sunday night for an early Monday morning arrival for the haul-out on December 12, 2016.
Capt Art reports that the boat’s hull looks good and the work list has begun!
Coast Guard inspection of the hull takes place on Wednesday, December 14.
Here are just a few items that Art, Aaron, Ryan Stahl, Dan and R2 are getting ready for the USCG inspection: intake screens for saltwater pumps, engine cooling system, all thru-hull valves removed for inspection, all bilges pumped dry, and the life rafts are removed for annual inspection.
In addition the hull is power-washed below the waterline and the sonar dome is cleaned.
Freshly painted bow on Dec 20.
Stay tuned for more dry-dock news as the week progresses!
