After 2 years on water this is really time for new antifouling :bang head:

last week we did ST Barth St Marrten to haul out on Bobby's Megayard.
We plan 10 days to make bottom job and full polish of the hull.

Boat have now 9 years time also for new seals on stabilizer and thrusters and some other jobs...

and the fun beginning !!!

We found no water on oil from the 2 thrusters and bearing stabilizer so good news, but time for new seal, I assume bearing oil from ABT TRAC was original, was really black really time to change.

I serviced my ABT TRAC stabilizers last year. First service for them since install. Took about two days.

My oil looked nearly same.

black oil in a sealed system says its overheating (the oil) and on its way to coking. Talk to the manufacturer and see what full synthetic they recommend.

I can imagine lot of heat can be disperse on sea water for bottom flange .
