Default repairs

Hi Weirs guy - We can accomplish the vast majority of internal above-waterline repairs at the Weirs but hings such as rudder or propeller damage would likely require going to Center Harbor and pulling the vessel. For example, things such as replacing a cylinder head and/or gasket can be done on site. The main engine cylinder heads are individually replaceable. We keep spare heads on board and have been known to do the job overnight and be ready to go next AM.

Regarding fuel, we have a fuel line from Lakeside Ave down to the pier. A fuel truck can connect to the line on the road and the line connects to the ship at the dock. Doris and Sophie are fueled by pumping over from the ship.
