Subbase and Island Rigging and Hydraulics reviewed projects that were on your "to do list" this
morning. I will list all projects that l can with a quote for each repair but first I would like to
comment on the condition of the LSJ Barge.
This vessel was hauled out at our yard three years ago . During that haul out Subbase quoted on
most of the items you have in this current list. It was surprising to see that our recommendations
were not completed and as a result the current condition of the vessel is not seaworthy. The overall
appearance of the vessels is that it looks neglected and repairs that were essential were cobbled
together in an effort to get by.
The LSJ Barge needs a major overhaul to make her seaworthy and to ensure an extended service
life.
Subbase in not interested in making any repairs that will not be done properly; nor are we interested
in patching anything together for a temporary fix.
I understand that some projects may be more important then others so I will try to list each project
individually.
Drydock hauling fees I 1,500.00 1,500.00
Laydays: Approx 12 12 350.00 4,200.00
Electricity Fee: Hook Up 1 75.00 75.00
Electricity Fee: per day 12 60.00 720.00
5000 psi pressure wash I 327.00 327.00
I & 2 ) Rudders: Subbase personnel examined the rudder room and we were able see major I 20,000.00 20,000.00
corrosion on the transom. The hull plating has holes where sea water is seeping into the vessel.
The steering components need to be removed and cleaned, the rudders need to be removed and
serviced. The lower Pintle and gudgeons need service as well as the rudder stuffing box. I would
reserve 10k to 20k for this project. I have included pictures of this compartment. Total

3-A) Install two cylinders with stainless steel shafts; including all hoses back to engine room, with 1 45,000.00 45.000.00
stainless steel ends on all hoses. We will re-evaluate the valving and other engine room
components to see what can me reused vs. replaced.
We have been informed that the present pump is in good condition so we are not quoting on
replacement of pump. Labor and Materials will be S35-45,000.
3-B) "Ilte steel boxes that secure the cylinders to the hull are deteriorated and will need I 16.000 00 16.000 00
replacement. Subbase recommends using stainless steel to eliminate the corrosion. Three years ago
we quoted S16,000.00 for both boxes and we will still honor this quote.
4) The exhaust system is in a non-repairable condition and needs replacement from the main engine I 24.500 00 24,500.00
to the hull outlet. Our quote will include all new piping, flex joints, exhaust mixers, and new
exterior aluminum outlet. When system is complete it will be wrapped with a removable wire mesh
hi-temp blanket. The new system will be much quieter than the existing exhaust system. Labor and
material $21,000.00.
5) Engine mounts need to be de-scaled of rust. Bolts holding mounts need to be cleaned or I ',000.00 7,000.00
renewed and alignment from coupling to shaft needs to be checked and adjusted for proper
tolerances. An extensive review was completed of this drive train back in 2012 with repair
recommendations made at that time. I do not know if this problem was solved so to budget for this
I would reserve 5k to 7k for this project. (before exhaust system is finalized this alignment must be
done).
6) Stuffing boxes: Subbase was informed that new stuffing boxes arc on hand and will be owner 1 5,000.00 5,000.00
supplied, after haulout removal of hose joining stuffing box to shaft log will reveal the condition of
shaft log. I would reserve 5k for this project.
