News Release – Jan 2, 2024

3C Yacht Services welcomes it’s latest new business partner – Dawson Murphy, RSE

Dawson originally was an independent contractor helping 3C Yacht Services, but is now a shareholder in 3C Marine & Diesel Ltd. dba 3C Yacht Services.

Dawson recently moved to Victoria from the mainland, and has worked in the trades for 15 years.  His extensive experience ranges from heavy equipment to marine.  Most of his focus was on heavy equipment repair, but he also has experience in welding, fabrication, carpentry, graphic design, and business.

Dawson discovered a passion for boating after completing a sailing course in 2016 (shout out to Katy at Sea To Sky Sailing!).  He’s been interested in all types of vessels ever since. Dawson’s other interests include skydiving, white water rafting, and surfing.  Currently Dawson is furthering his adventure passion with attending Flight School to obtain his pilot’s license.

3C is excited to have someone of his caliber, as a shareholder, and working partner.

Twin Cummins 6BTA5.9’s lifted out for rebuilding after the interior, galley, and seating was removed to gain access.

Staging – removal of the engine from the ‘hole’, where the ‘hole’ was shorter and narrower than the engine! Some items removed from the engine, and with some very careful lifting with our specialized Gantry for jobs like this, one engine was staged to the center to the door, and readied for the crane to make that final lift out through the door, as seen behind the engine.

Crane arrived, setup, and then attached to the staged engine, and ‘threaded the needle‘ through the doorway without any damage, or issue.

After the 1st engine was out, then the 2nd engine was lifted out of it’s hole with the Gantry, and moved over to the center of the doorway again – staging it for the crane and lift out.

A lot of thought, and planning went into this to ensure a smooth process, without any issues or collateral damage. A thank you goes out to Vic City Crane, as a good crane operator is imperative to this project. A thank you to Anderson Precision Engines, as they will be ensuring a professional rebuild at their machine shop.
