Seamlessly manage your boat's upkeep – let's embark on this journey together! ***** Starry Horizons needed a bit of TLC so we headed up to The Boat Works in Coomera for a spa day/weeks. Tops on the to-do list was a mini electrical refit to replace our AGM batteries with Lithium. This was a complicated project that was beyond our comfort level so we brought in a few experts. Jack from Outback Marine supplied the lithium batteries, BMS, distribution control panel, Victron Solar Controllers and a more powerful Victron inverter/charger while Jim from Odyssey Electrical supplied new Balmar alternators and wired in the whole system. While the battery replacement work was going on, we managed to complete a few projects of our own. We pickled watermaker, re-sealed the windows in the hulls, troubleshooted a pesky water leak, serviced our davits, re-galvanized our anchor chain, repainted the anchor locker AND serviced the winches. Whew!! It makes me tired again just writing all that out! Once all that was completed, Starry Horizons got hauled out of the water so we could store her on the hard while we went and did a six week tour of Australia. Thanks for watching!
