Portfolio
U-Boat Yacht Management has performed a large variety of projects, from simple deck washes and routine engine maintenance to rebuilding freezer and fridge boxes in stainless steel and transporting boats.
Following are a few samples of completed projects.
Antigua 53 "Island Time"
Refrigeration Rebuild: The original material that the freezer and refrigerator boxes were built from was showing signs of moisture intrusion. To remedy the problem, the delaminated material was removed, the boxes rebuilt and lined with stainless steel panels. The cooling system was evacuated, repaired, and recharged. The result is a very clean, rich look and feel, and excellent cooling performance.
The
Lehman Engine: The
oil & transmission coolers were replaced and other engine and
generator
maintenance was performed.
Additionally:
The
wind-speed/direction system was rebuilt, spreader light bulbs and stove
igniter
switch were replaced, and inspection, adjustment, and lubrication of
the
steering system was performed.
