Two weeks completed

Joy and I (CoCo) have completed  almost two weeks on Spirit Song with no thought of requesting a return authorization. We truly enjoy Spirit Song even with a few issues to be corrected. Our TT35 is Hull #2, the first delivered and in the water. Considering our boat is the "prototype" we expected and have encountered deficiencies needing correction. We have also recommended "product improvements" to Mirage which they (we think) will adopt on current production vessels.

• We initially had problems with the linkage adjustment from throttles to engines. When throttles were indicating neutral, the engines were not in neutral. Problem solved! 
• In the master bedroom the slope of the floor and carpet were too slick. For safety reasons Mirage extended the floor on each side of the bed.
• Had a small leak in the cabinet above washer/dryer after rain. Mirage found several mounting screws on the port roof hand rail not sealed correctly. So far, so good!
• Starboard aft cleat leaking into storage bay; suspect a mounting bolt not sealed.
• Thruster cover (inside bow) was cracked and has been replaced.
• Added two handholds (port and starboard) for safer boarding.
• Investigating Dometic A/C unit, even though inside control panel indicates optional cool or HEAT. Have discovered the heat feature is an option (heat stripe) that can be added. No reply from Mirage on this question. In Florida not a big issue, going north different issue.
• Pleased to post the 2/gph fuel consumption is for real at 10 mph cruise. Have recorded 8 hours and have verified the value. Currently starboard engine tank does not register fuel consumption.  

Our opinion and comments on Spirit Song are not approved, edited or endorsed by Mirage Manufacturing. In no way do we represent current or future production. Just a happy TT35 boater sharing information.

If the TT35 owners share information feel it would benefit everyone. Thanks for visiting our blog.

GOD Bless
