- Beneteau Swift Trawler 44
I'm having some work done on my boat, which is sitting at the yard now. Wondering if anyone has any guidance on a few issues. First, the boat (Beneteau Swift Trawler 44) has a Cummins Onan generator that has 50 hours but is due for service. The labor charge estimate from the yard is $330 at a labor rate of $95/hr. This is to change the oil, primary and secondary fuel filters and impeller. And to bleed the fuel system and give it a test run. They'll inspect the belts and houses, etc., as well. Does more than 3 hours of labor sound right?
Also, the boat is being trucked from the yard in Seattle to Alameda. One of the line items on the estimate is diesel winterization for $455, with $440 of it labor. Of the boat is going to be back in service in the Bay Area, would winterization bee necessary?
I'm going to talk with them, but hoping I can get some guidance here first as I'm a newbie.
Thx!
