Case studies from the dock and the hardstand
Real jobs written up in full, what we found, what we did and what it took. Including superyacht repairs carried out dockside and on the hardstand at Gold Coast City Marina.
Twin Muir Windlass Overhaul & Seized Shaft Recovery, Classic Sailing Yacht
Both Muir anchor windlasses on a classic sailing yacht came off for overhaul, and the starboard main shaft refused to leave its gearbox. Heat, a hydraulic power pack and a jack all failed, so we cut a controlled access hatch in the chain locker, lowered the assembly out whole and pressed it apart in the workshop. Both gearboxes were stripped and rebuilt on new Muir shafts, bearings and seals, the corroded housings blasted, primed and painted, and the windlasses refitted, greased and proven on deck.
Shaft Seals, Cutlass Bearings & Engine Service, 14m Trawler-Style Motor Yacht
A main engine and gearbox service on a trawler-style motor yacht, booked while she was out of the water for antifouling. A look over the running gear turned it into a bigger job: both propeller shafts out, two new PSS shaft seals, four new cutlass bearings and, found on the bench during the service, two raw water pumps with failed seals and bearings. She goes back in the water with the lot renewed.
Generator Removal, Rebuild & Refit, 54m Superyacht
The port generator on a visiting 54m superyacht needed its prime mover and alternator out for rebuild, and there was no straight path from the engine room to the beach club door. We rigged the lift with a scaffold transition beam, walked both units out on trolleys, brought them back rebuilt two and a half weeks later and had the set running on the switchboard, then stayed aboard six weeks working through the engineer's list.

Fantastic experience with MSA working on our sailing catamaran. Easy to organise and discuss work, on time, great workmanship and fair price. Highly recommended.Read more on Google, review by Dave
A big shout out and thumbs up to the team at MSA. 3 weeks on the hard stand at GCCM for major maintenance. Quality all round, workmanship, cost estimates and real time updates for the project made my life easy. The maiden voyage to Victoria and she purred like a kitten.Read more on Google, review by Grant O.
Great service and nice guys. They were given my two yacht windlasses as the manufacturer was not performing in the initial stages. MSA took on this job with gusto. The level of communication and reporting gave me great confidence in the repair. Extremely professional in every way. 10 out of 10 for MSA.Read more on Google, review by Rocka R.
MSA were responsive and professional in their installation of a holding tank in our 35 foot yacht. It took 7 working days from my first enquiry to job completion, which is impressive. The use of a WhatsApp group to communicate was highly effective in getting clarity, decision making and updates. Francisco was considerate to have onboard and went out of his way to be helpful in getting the job done. I would recommend MSA.Read more on Google, review by Mike
