Whether you need hydraulic repairs, running gear work or shafts straightened – High Seas Family of Companies is here to serve

It’s not unusual for mega yachts to haul out at Lauderdale Marine Center requiring extensive work on multiple parts of the boat. That was the case for a 135 foot Broward when she came into the yard. The Captain of the yacht approached High Seas with a laundry list of requirements that included hydraulics and running gear jobs. High Seas is unique in the sense that we have the expertise to work on both areas, providing a central point of contact that can help to design the most efficient work flow through coordinated schedules.

For this yacht, we were hired to:

• Perform a full NAIAD 505 service with shafts out and new bearings
• Do a full rebuild on the Hydraulic Steering System including removing the HPU and replacing hoses
• Reinstall PTOs on new generators with new hoses
• Refurbish the steering cylinders
• Remove rudders for a bearing inspection and repack stuffing boxes
• Remove shafts for new bearings, packing and alignment
• Complete removal and rebuild of Maxwell 11000 windlasses

In coming posts, we will walk through the steps we took to make this yacht ship shape again.
