Lagoon 450

For a major part of this summer I worked on a Lagoon 450 here in the marina.  I'm not going to trash the boat - but let me say that the boat might be fine for a typical Caribbean "Charter Operation" but no way was it designed for all of the stuff that was installed on it this summer in prep for a trip around the world.  One major issue on the boat was that there was absolutely ZERO access for the installation of any additional cables, plumbing, etc. But we were still tasked with the installation of more stuff than I ever thought possible.  To the point that the owner was concerned with exceeding the boats design weight!

With that said - here is a post that the owner made in regard to a water maker problem:   


".......Once we cleared the marina, J... flipped the switch to start making fresh water. It wasn't working, which meant P.. and J... had to start troubleshooting what was wrong. P.. called the water maker installers and our contractor, S....., and started going through the steps of tracing down the problem. They saw water coming out and realized there was a leak. The only problem was that where the lines were run, it was a narrow opening and you couldn't see through it. Instead of running the lines through a bulkhead, the installers jammed the line through a narrow opening that was there, not knowing what was sharing that space. Instead of installing it properly, they took shortcuts and put us at risk. P.. and J... were able to pull enough line out to find the hose kinked. They patched a leak made by the kink and the water maker started working again."

I didn't install the water maker but was on the boat when it was installed and NO WAY WAS IT INSTALLED IMPROPERLY..................NOR WERE ANY SHORTCUTS TAKEN.   

PS:  The installer operated the watermaker for the owner here in the marina and it worked fine. 

Oh well...................
