This project list should cover everything needed to get Luna back in the water and ready for cruising.

Replace port engine
- It has low compression and the yard says it'll be cheaper to replace than rebuild. They estimate $10k for a new Volvo D-1 engine, plus $5k-$10k to install, depending on install complexity. Based on the previous starboard engine replacement install, it'll probably be closer to $5k.
- Alternatively, if you’re interested in proceeding with the OceanVolt electric motor upgrades that we were prepping for, talk to Derek Rupe of OceanVolt, who designed and installed our electrical system.
Tune up Starboard engine - it was running great the last time we had her in the water (2023), but will need a tune-up due to being in storage.
Remove diesel from tank and clean fuel system - I’ve added fuel additive to prevent moisture in the tank a couple times, but still the diesel has been in the tank and lines for a couple years.
Replace seals in starboard saildrive
- Starboard saildrive just started getting water in the oil before we hauled her out - I drained it and put new oil in after hauling out
- Port saildrive seals were replaced in 2023, but I’d replace them again since she’s been in dry storage

Fix fiberglass tabbing that joins the sole to the floor around the keel boxes, in both hulls - We’ve heard that this is a common issue on Fountain Pajots. It looks like they were previously repaired as a DIY job, but not sufficiently
Fix port aft cabin bulkhead
- It has a couple-inch crack in the plywood between the top of the cabin door and the hull ceiling, which has been there since we purchased her - It doesn’t seem to be a structural bulkhead, but even if it is, it should be a simple fix with wood and bolts.
- The same bulkhead is only lightly glassed onto the outside hull wall on one side of the bulkhead (which is why we don't think it's a structural bulkhead)...but, the bottom two feet where it connects to the hull is loose, and should be re-glassed.
*A contractor gave us an estimate of $23,000 for the glasswork and bulkhead repairs

Fountain Pajot issued a recall on the escape hatches. They sent us new ones, but they still need to be installed
Aft starboard cabin hatch is cracked and needs to be replaced
Forward port cabin hatch and forward port storage locker hatch need to be resealed
*Leaking hatches are taped up, so they haven’t been leaking

Install head sink faucet - have a new one, but it needs to be installed
Replace the head macerator -it still works, but not very well - requires several flushes
Fix or clear the holding tank’s drain valve - it’s either blocked or broken
Rewire the water pump to the house bank - during the electrical rewiring project, we disconnected the water pump - my plan was to move it, as it’s on the bulkhead against the main stateroom and is loud when sleeping - either way, it’ll need to be reconnected
Recommission the water system and repair any leaks - we had an early freeze before winterizing, and while in dry dock, so there may be some leaks, but haven’t confirmed since the water pump has been out of commission

Re-calibrate auto-pilot - it was turning off occasionally the last few times we had her out sailing
Troubleshoot/reset bluetooth connection to masthead wind vane - it’s a brand new system, but the wind indicator at the helm lost connection with the masthead wind vane the last time we sailed her

Re-commission - do any other standard re-commissioning stuff needed for a boat that's been in dry storage for a couple years
