Survey watch points

Hull No. 1 prop-shaft vibration and cockpit-bin rattles

medium risk · documented · survey

PMY traced elevated noise and cockpit-bin rattles on Hull No. 1 to a prop shaft outside Bertram's stated variation threshold.

The evidence is explicitly limited to Hull No. 1 and does not establish a recurring Bertram 700 defect.

  • Treat this as a Hull No. 1 report; verify current shaft runout and investigate cockpit-bin rattles on the individual boat being surveyed.

Optional ARG gyro installation restricts generator access

medium risk · documented · layout

PMY reported that the two optional ARG gyros on its test boat occupied about half the lazarette and restricted access to both generators.

This is a configuration-specific access constraint reported on PMY's 2008 test boat, not a fleet-wide defect.

  • On ARG-equipped boats, inspect actual service access around both generators and the gyro installation.
