Kaikoma Report as of 2023-09-25
The following are photos and explanations of the repairs done by Arari Shipbuilders over the week., Kaikoma is ready to be lowered into the water and I requested that it be done this weekend when everyone is there. Please let me know if everyone is in agreement.
Once placed in the water, an engine check can be made, someone can be lifted to the top of the mast to check the light and perhaps even a short voyage outside the harbor can be made.
SOME GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There has been no water leakage since the windows were last "fixed!"
Main Panel Water Pump Switch
Stern Toilet Water Switch
Stern Toilet Water Switch (Temporary)
Forward Water Tank Filler and Breather Piping
Forward Water Tank, Gauge, and Discharge Piping
The water tank is NOT a water heater unit. It is a normal water tank. The problem of leakage was that the discharge piping seen in the lower part of the photo was disconnected.
If hot water is a required item, Arari recommends that an engine water heating system be installed.
The water tank is now fully operational.
Forward Toilet Water Switch and Piping (1)
Mast Head Light Wiring
Apparently either the light in the head light has burnt out or the wiring in the mast is bad.
This should be fixed prior to leaving Arari for Shimizu.
