S&S Swan Maintenance - Zo� is finally back in the water

17 February 2015 - 17:21 #1 Post Reply
Zo� is finally back in the water After a year + of part-time restoration, our 411 is back in the water. The partial list of maintenance includes: new barrier coat to the hull, tightening the two aft keel bolts, installing a new through hull under the head sink, cleaning various electrical connections, getting the diesel heater to run, and replacing the primary freshwater pump. I'm still working on the best approach to extend the life of our teak deck. Someone along the way did a poor job of sanding the deck, so it's pretty thin in places. I've spliced in a couple of new pieces and re-glued several others. I'm hopeful that I can keep the deck functional and good looking for a few more years. Don 411/11
