Wouldn’t be a Saturday without one last urgent call. Bow thruster prop swap complete! Happy Father’s Day weekend!

Received a call late Thursday about this 43’ Marine Trader on their way North on a strict schedule. Customer believed they hit bottom and had vibration coming from their starboard running gear. Made it out to them Friday morning at slack tide and found both props were damaged and a fair bit of line wrapped up in their running gear. Thankfully they had a spare set of propellers onboard, so we went straight to work clearing the line and swapping out their props. 1hr 30min later, they were set to get back underway. Smiles and handshakes all around are how I like my jobs completed.

When you need that spotless clean for a Survey Haul-Out, that’s my specialty. Cleaned the day prior and no pressure washer needed = no paint stripped from the hull. That’s the On Point difference.

Hot day and clogged A/C intakes are the worst!!

The season is ramping up! We’re on a roll this week. 2 successful search and recoveries, 1 prop swap, a bunch of hulls cleaned, and 1 road trip to Savannah, GA to get another American Cruise Lines 241’ long, 54’ beam, with a 7’ draft “American Liberty” safely underway again. And it’s just Tuesday! The team is working hard and we’re here when you need us especially when the task requires reliable attention to detail.

Monday turned into a 24hr work day after receiving an urgent late call from American Cruise Lines 226’ vessel, “American Independence”. Their starboard engine cut out while underway to Baltimore to pick up passengers. After getting it running again they tried putting it in gear and it cut out again. After over 6 hours of diving throughout the night, was able to cut away over 30’ of over 2” thick mooring line that was wrapped around their prop and running gear. Normally, not a huge problem to solve… this was on another level. Was a pleasure working with the crew who ended up having to loosen the shaft and back it up an inch which was just enough space for me to remove the last bit of line that had everything bound up. Out of the water by 4:30am Tuesday. Job complete and they’re getting back underway at first light.

Hang in there Parker… just 2 more boats to do!
