Topics covered will include emergency repairs, repowering, maintenance, warranty and gensets.

VESSEL MAINTENANCE IS MORE THAN OIL CHANGES

Craig Parkhurst of Wheelhouse Technologies discusses the various maintenance approaches—run-to-failure, preventative and predictive—and describes how to work smarter not harder to maintain your vessel. He will share his thinking on equipment failure modes and spare parts.

Visit our booth at Trawlerfest May 15th – 17th and learn how WheelHouse can simplify the maintenance on your vessel and provide the tools required for safe cruising.

On December 9th, the main fluid analysis laboratory and the application support team are moving to a new, expanded headquarters in Indianapolis in early December. While our relocation may be minimal in distance, it is important for us to continue serving our valued customers without interruption.

• Shipping Labels – The Indianapolis address has been updated on the sampling labels currently being sent to customers. The “old” address labels can be used up to 90 days after our move date without interrupting the turnaround time. Samples will be received at the “old” Indianapolis address after that time, but there may be a slight delay before testing begins.

• Should you have old labels, please  update them with the new address of 7451 Winton Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46268.

We appreciate your understanding as we expand to better serve you. Thank you for your continued support and business.
