I'll cal= you this afternoon once Gene is available Ann R. Begin forwarded message: From: =/b> Bill Hague Date: May 1, 2017 at 9: : To: "annrodriquez@yahoo.com S=bject: Barge Failure Good Day. The barge has an i=sue that warrants taking it out of service for inspection and repair. The p=rt propeller shaft has come loose from its taper in the drive coupling. It'= a BIG deal. To fix it, very likely, is going to require hauling the b=at out to repair it. There is likely unseen damage t= the shaft taper, coupling taper, coupling and nut. Inspection will determi=e if it can be repaired or replaced. It's gotta be d=sassembled and evaluated and SBDD is the place it needs done. The fai=ed weld on the muffler can be addressed at the same time the shaft inspecti=n and subsequent repair is done. &=bsp; Respectfully Submitted EFTA_R1_01427632 EFTA02395951
