Haul Out at SwanTown Marina in Olympia, WA.

Haul Out at SwanTown Marina in Olympia, WA.

Spring is almost here and it is time for Sea Eagle’s annual haul-out. Getting the boat lined up and into the lift on a blustery day was “entertaining”, but I made it work. Having a bow and stern thruster is a little bit like cheating. 😉

It has been two years since the hull was painted and 4 months since I dove the bottom and cleaned her. As you can see from the photos, the paint is in great shape (Petitt Trinidad Black). There are bare spots along the keel where the previous owner bumped the bottom (shallow slip), so I am putting on two fresh coats of pain.

The Keel Coolers look good, and need new zincs and so do the props. See the photos below.

Keel Cooler for the main engine.  Zinc anodes need to be replaced.

Propellers on Sea Eagle are in good shape after two years.  Both are missing zinc anodes.
