Greetings all,
I would like to provide you with an update regarding the crane issue. A mechanic has assessed the situation and regrettably identified that the head gaskets are damaged, resulting in insufficient compression in the cylinders for the engine to start effectively.
We are presented with two alternatives: a comprehensive engine rebuild or solely replacing the heads to restore the crane's functionality. At present, we are awaiting quotations for both options and will provide updates accordingly.
We have engaged a local crane service company to supply a crane and operator for boat launching starting Monday afternoon. You will receive a notification with the launch schedule to allow for your presence, if required.
We are scheduled to relocate the 16 boats presently housed in the rack building by Thursday evening to accommodate the upcoming rack season. Subsequently, a forklift will be employed to elevate the masts in the following week, facilitating the removal of any boats for maintenance or cleaning.
This timeline allows ample preparation to secure a larger crane rental or arrange for the repair of our existing one to launch the remaining boats.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding at this time. Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
Adam Coles
General Manager
