Upgrades & repairs

From July 2024 to December 2024, the yacht underwent an exacting bow‑to‑stern refit focused on performance, reliability, and elegance. The bottom was professionally sanded, faired, and painted, Propspeed was applied, and all bottom zincs were renewed. We sanded, faired, and repainted the bottom, the hull and house below the brow, the entire main deck, and the cockpit. PSS prop shaft seals and rudder seals were replaced, the propellers were removed and cleaned, new cutlass bearings were fitted, and a CHIRP transducer was installed for sharper sonar imaging. We renewed rudder flange bearings, rudder seals, and lower rudder bearings, and re‑fiberglassed the rudder through‑hull for long‑term integrity. The lazarette was pressure‑cleaned, the flybridge and hardtop were compounded and waxed to a deep gloss, and the aft deck teak steps and ladder were restored. All chillers received a complete service. At the helm and flybridge, we installed an entirely new suite of NMEA 2000 electronics—navigation, GPS, autopilot, radar, VHF, transducer, and AIS—mounted in new fiberglass panels that also covered prior cutouts for a seamless finish. We added new aft deck and engine room cameras with an NVR, integrated new Starlink, and refreshed onboard comfort with all‑new carpet and padding throughout, a new salon couch, chairs, coffee table, and décor, plus all new linens and bedding for staterooms and heads. For mechanical confidence, both main engines and the generator received comprehensive 2,000‑hour services. We equipped the vessel with new tools and maintenance gear, installed new A/C pumps for the salon and pilothouse, reupholstered the main helm dash, converted all halogen lighting to LED, and outfitted the galley with new cutlery, glassware, and countertop appliances. Safety was enhanced with a new life raft, and the davit received a cylinder rebuild, including rotator and cable up/down functions.

From February 2025 to May 2025, we elevated exterior finish and systems once more. The flybridge interior and exterior, including the hardtop, were painted and various glass repairs completed. We removed and replaced two underwater lights and supplied new underwater lights, then performed a full exterior detail. The davit was load‑tested, three floodlights were installed (flybridge and aft to cockpit) with the luminaires supplied new, and the flybridge aft bench was reupholstered. We replaced the AutoAnchor display on the flybridge and repaired two areas at the stanchions while renewing fiberglass on the swim platform.

Summary

Designed by Monk, this Ocean Alexander Pilothouse masterfully fuses the refinement of a luxury motor yacht with the steadfast seaworthiness and purposeful utility of a true long‑range cruiser. An expansive salon with rich appointments underscores the yacht’s stature, while the pilothouse prioritizes practical passagemaking with port and starboard access to full walk‑around side decks, a full‑size helm chart table, and an adjacent galley and dinette so captain and cook remain part of the day’s conversation. Below, three staterooms and two full heads provide welcoming comfort for owners and guests alike, whether for a quick coastal hop or a far‑reaching voyage. The fast, stable, and efficient Power Channel hull, a reduced 4‑foot draft, and a capacious 1,500‑gallon fuel supply extend your cruising horizon. “Bons Temps” is notably spacious, with abundant seating and airy staterooms typical of Ocean Alexander, and her galley‑up layout keeps the heart of hospitality connected to the helm. The pilothouse and flybridge are equipped with fly‑by‑wire controls and digital readouts for the Detroit Series 60 engines, and there is an aft starboard docking station in the cockpit. Everywhere you move, solid handrails, thoughtfully designed stairs, and thick grab rails along the walk‑around and swim step make every transition secure and effortless.

In the engine room, serious cruisers will appreciate Engine Electronic Digital Display screens at two stations and controls in the pilothouse, flybridge, and cockpit—three stations including thrusters. Fuel sight gauges in the engine room complement an analog Tank Tender in the pilothouse for both fuel and water. Power flows through Twin Disc transmissions to four‑blade 34 x 43‑inch high‑performance Ni‑Bral propellers. Manual engine overrides in the engine room and pilothouse allow full Detroit engine and gear operation should any throttle or computer component misbehave. PYI dripless shaft and rudder seals keep the bilges dry. A comprehensive hydraulic suite powers the windlass, the bow and stern thrusters (both 25 HP), the stabilizers, and the davit, while hydraulic steering ensures fingertip control. An FCI Max Q watermaker with dual controls in the pilothouse and engine room delivers 1,200 gallons per day. For fire safety, a Halon system with meters in both flybridge and pilothouse is complemented by manual activation in the cockpit. Maintenance is simplified with a Groco oil‑change pump for the engines and both gensets, a Gulf Coast fuel polish system with transfer pump and vacuum gauge that cleans fuel without using primary or secondary engine filters, and Professional Mariner battery charging for engines, gensets, and house banks. A third alternator charges the house batteries, with a Victron meter in the pilothouse that also displays main engine battery status. Northern Lights 20 kW (port) and 8 kW (starboard) generator sets, both with Aqua Alarms, have separate on/off controls and meters in the pilothouse and engine room. Smoke and fire alarms above the engines and in all staterooms are interconnected. Four Jabsco engine room blowers, separate 110‑ and 12‑volt lighting systems (mirrored in the lazarette), a custom tool case including torque wrench, an upgraded battery switch and parallel system, dual Racor primary fuel filters for engines and gensets with selector switches and vacuum gauges, color‑coded piping for fuel, water, and hydraulics, a fresh‑water high‑pressure wash‑down hose in the engine room, and a dual‑station air horn round out a space built for confidence offshore.

The flybridge is enclosed beneath a custom hardtop with Isinglass and extra zippered fold‑down windows, and includes a large custom instrument pod that cleanly displays four monitors, plus an opening sunroof hatch. A dedicated circuit breaker panel with spare breakers supports flybridge instruments, while a Perko 360‑degree spotlight crowns the hardtop. The settee offers clever storage with a custom divided backrest for easy access, and the table drops to create a berth with a filler cushion. Extra storage hatches and drawers keep gear tidy. Entertaining is effortless with a BBQ in a custom cabinet on the dinghy deck, a U‑Line ice maker set into a refrigerator, and a Sub‑Zero freezer. Two command chairs keep captain and mate comfortable, overhead red lights preserve night vision, and custom cabinets with stainless fiddles secure essentials. A second handrail from the pilothouse to the flybridge eases movement. A special toggle lets you switch engine room lights on and off for TV‑camera viewing, and an extra 110‑volt duplex powers phones, flashlights, or a portable vacuum. A Cradlepoint router with LTE and 5G capability brings connectivity aboard via hotspots or local service.

In the lazarette, a 4 kW Trace inverter with integrated house‑bank charger is managed via a separate Trace digital readout in the pilothouse, allowing you to run many 110‑volt appliances without the gensets. The customized circuit breaker panel resides in the pilothouse. Heavy‑duty L16 Trojan house batteries are arranged in three banks—12 batteries total—for approximately 1,050 amps, neatly contained within custom storage boxes. A Victron digital battery monitoring system in the pilothouse provides full status at a glance. Shore power arrives via a 70‑foot, 50‑amp, 220‑volt dock cord on a Glendinning Cable Master, with a second 50‑amp plug amidships. Dripless rudder bearings and a drogue sea anchor add redundancy and control.

The pilothouse features a custom oversized instrument pod sized for four large monitors, a Stidd command chair, and a pictogram with LEDs that indicate system status. Defrosters serve all three front pilothouse windows; each window has its own wiper and washer. Storage beneath the settee, accessed through a custom divided backrest, keeps charts and spares organized. Phantom screen doors here and in the salon bring in the breeze without the bugs. Plugs and USB ports form an integrated charging station for phones, cameras, and instruments on both 110 and 12 volts. A dedicated navigation computer with wireless keyboard and mouse—usable from the flybridge—runs Nobeltec TimeZero integrated with the autopilot, GPS, charts, and Wi‑Fi.

On deck, Key Power hydraulic bow and stern thrusters—25 HP at three stations—work in concert with Key Power hydraulic stabilizers, which feature a color touch‑screen controller on the flybridge. Bennett trim tabs with auto‑level in both pilothouse and flybridge return to neutral automatically when you stop. Oval stainless rails incorporate four custom built‑in fender holders near the bow, backed by a second stainless safety rail and additional custom fender storage. A custom pulpit supports two stainless anchors and two custom anchor lockers. The starboard anchor locker carries a custom hawse pipe for rope and chain, with a 75‑lb stainless CQR on 500 feet of chain, and a 60‑lb stainless CQR with 50 feet of chain plus 300 feet of 3/4‑inch rode (stored off the boat, but included). A Maxwell VWC 3500 hydraulic winch handles both anchors, complemented by a Maxwell 500C digital control with chain counter on the flybridge for push‑button, hands‑free anchoring. A custom storage locker sits just aft of the windlass. A flat pad area on the bow is prepared for an optional 3 bait tank, served by a dedicated bait pump. Salt and fresh‑water wash‑down bibs forward include a high‑pressure, high‑volume 110‑volt salt‑water pump. A stainless ladder amidships folds away, can move port or starboard, and is stored off the boat but conveyed with sale. A Bower hydraulic 1,500‑lb davit system, two extra portholes, and pop‑up cleats on the swim step complete the picture.

Electronics are robust and redundant with most systems mirrored between the pilothouse and flybridge, and all manuals indexed and stored in a custom locker. A built‑in Professional Mariner corrosion controller meter reads zincs and bonding, backed by a portable meter. Professional Mariner galvanic shore isolators—one per shore cord—show LED error warnings. The Maxwell chain counter/AutoAnchor system with digital display on the flybridge allows push‑button or manual control. The suite includes a Simrad autopilot; two Icom VHFs with a third hand‑remote mic in the cockpit; a 23‑foot Galaxy high‑dB antenna at the pilothouse and an 8‑foot antenna at the flybridge; and remote ICOM SP‑24 speakers at both stations. A VDO analog rudder‑position indicator works alongside a second digital indicator tied to the autopilot, and a B&G wind direction gauge adds precision. Aqua Alarms monitor engines, gensets, and cockpit bait pumps. A Furuno Nav 500 autopilot can follow Nobeltec, NavNet, or even sonar fish targets, supported by Furuno PG‑500 heading and motion sensors. A five‑station A‑Phone intercom links the yacht. Video coverage includes an Elbex tilt/zoom/pan engine‑room camera and a cockpit camera with tilt/zoom, both controllable from the pilothouse and flybridge, with a custom light switch on the flybridge to set engine room lighting for optimal camera viewing. A Raytheon night‑vision IR camera on a custom reinforced stainless stinger delivers 360‑degree situational awareness in fog or darkness, with joystick controls at both stations. Grounding and bonding are upgraded with a 4‑inch copper strap to a Newmar 18E ground shoe and Professional Mariner double‑thick copper strapping the length of the boat, plus shaft wipers in the engine room tied into the Professional Mariner bonding/zinc meter in the pilothouse. A Blue Seas digital AC multi‑meter covers volts and amps for both 110‑ and 220‑volt systems. Ritchie compasses are fitted at the flybridge and pilothouse. Two Professional Mariner shore isolators with LED warnings (one per 50‑amp cord) help prevent stray current and galvanic corrosion; the aft dock cord in the cockpit runs on a push‑button Glendinning Cable Master CM‑7. Aqua Alarms for engines, gensets, and bait tanks use distinctive bells and buzzers. Bennett trim tabs at both stations include auto‑neutral. A Glover air horn, Neumar DC‑DC power converter, Neumar Tank Watch for the holding tank, Hart Tank Watch Tank Tender for fuel and water, a Trace 4 kW inverter with screens in the pilothouse and lazarette, and computer‑generated wiring diagrams testify to professional‑grade outfitting.

Both stations are built for visibility: the flybridge carries two Furuno 15‑inch and two 10.4‑inch displays, while the pilothouse mounts four Samsung 15‑inch monitors. Notably, both instrument pods were custom‑enlarged to accommodate four monitors each. Helm electronics by Garmin include GPSMAP, radar, a transducer, and a GMI 10 information display.

Anglers will appreciate a cockpit with a custom on/off circuit‑breaker switch panel for accessories, lights, and pumps, including VHF remote, intercom, and cigar plugs; a third control station with throttles and thrusters in the starboard locker for backing into slips or working a fish; Oberdorfer bait pumps feeding a cockpit bait tank with two pumps, two Y‑valves (each with Aqua Alarms), and an internal light; and a Jabsco bait tank built into the swim step with double doors that doubles as an auto‑filling fish kill box with a separate bait pump. A bracket accepts a removable fighting chair or folding table. A high‑pressure 110‑volt Jabsco salt‑wash pump serves hose bibs in both cockpit and bow. Rod storage includes a hidden lazarette holder and overhead racks in the cockpit. Three tackle center cabinets keep gear at the ready. A hot/cold shower at the swim step, a separate overboard freshwater spigot above it, and a heavy‑duty custom T‑shaped fold‑down ladder for SCUBA or swimming are all heavily reinforced. Lighting includes two quartz spreaders for the cockpit plus two underwater multi‑color LED lights.

Entertainment flows through three Samsung Smart TVs: a 55‑inch in the salon and 35‑inch sets in both the master and forward staterooms, all connected to Starlink for streaming at the dock or underway. Maneuvering poise comes from Key Power hydraulic bow and stern thrusters at three stations, each 25 HP, and Key Power hydraulic stabilizers. A pilothouse pictogram above the command chair uses LED lights to indicate the status of five Jabsco bilge pumps and three high‑water alarms, and it also shows which navigation lights are active, with extra rocker switches on each side for fast access.

Climate and comfort are assured with Cruise Air air‑conditioning and heat across five units for five zones, each with its own control and dehumidify function. Red overhead lighting preserves night vision in the galley, flybridge, and pilothouse. A freshwater spigot is conveniently placed by the custom BBQ cabinet on the aft flybridge deck. Hot water comes from a 30‑gallon Torrid heater. Custom burl trim and doors, metal mini‑blinds, and Phantom roller screens in both pilothouse and salon elevate the finish. Numerous additional handholds and grab rails, several custom stainless fiddles at the engine room door, flybridge, and pilothouse, and a Maxwell AutoAnchor 500 further refine the experience.

The well‑equipped galley features a custom Corian countertop design with extra cabinets and drawers, dual backsplashes, and two extra 110‑volt outlets; a garbage disposal; instant hot water built into the countertop; a GE dishwasher; a Whirlpool refrigerator with ice maker and side freezer delivering instant ice and water through the door with shelves upgraded to clear Lexan; a Whirlpool oven; a Kenyon ceramic cooktop with custom pot and pan gimbal holders; a GE washer with a separate dryer for clothes in the hall by the master stateroom; a Broan trash compactor; a GE Spacemaker microwave; and several extra custom cabinets including a built‑in Lazy Susan. The two heads include one Masterflush in the master stateroom and one Vacuflush in the guest head, both feeding a 100‑gallon holding tank with Y‑valves for overboard discharge or holding. A dedicated level meter makes pump‑outs simple. Marble floors and countertops, built‑in soap dispensers, all‑glass shower enclosures with safety latches, and extra towel holders blend luxury with practicality.

Canvas and closures include zippered front and side windows in three sections, a full flybridge enclosure, a windlass cover, and a flybridge aft‑deck hatch by the stairway to the cockpit. Electrical protection is exemplary with three separate color‑coded circuit breaker panels—rather than the usual single panel—and ample spares across the 12‑, 24‑, and 110‑volt systems. Underway, she returns approximately 1 gallon per mile up to 10 knots, varies to roughly 2 gallons per mile through 16 knots, and can reach a full‑throttle pace of 21 knots and beyond. For reference and future care, there is a printed, numbered index for the manuals, which are themselves numbered and organized in three plastic storage containers temporarily housed in a dedicated locker in the master stateroom—approximately 99.5% of all manuals are aboard.
