Maintenance Backlog

The following attempts to reconcile my work up to this point. It is probably incomplete, and I'll try to break it out into more detailed posts as time permits.

• Installed Rule 2000 Bilge Pump on float switch, wired directly into main battery bank and plumbed to starboard cockpit scupper

Engine

• Installed Jabsco Manual Toilet
• Epoxy coated interior of holding tank with Gluvit Epoxy

Galley

• Installed new gimballed Force 10 Gourmet Galley 2-burner range and oven

Anchor

• Installed 35lb Manson Supreme anchor on 200' of 5/16 G4 chain
• Installed Simpson Lawrence 555 Seatiger manual windlass over a new chainpipe
• TO DO: find a place to stow the 35lb CQR anchor, which will be our spare.

Deck

• Installed lifeline netting

• Installed rail mount outboard bracket
• Installed 20lb composite propane cylinder and plumbed propane system to our rail-mount Magma grill and range
• Repaired and revarnished tiller, which had some minor rot and delamination
• New dodger fabricated and installed by Martinez Boat Canvas in San Rafael, CA. Caesar did a great job for a great price, and we recommend them highly.

Rigging

• Cleaned and inspected all running rigging
• Respliced wire-to-rope genoa halyard
• Rigged single reef in main
• Installed soft boomvang
• Cleaned sails

Cabin

• Installed new galley and V-berth cushions
• Ordered curtain rod holders from http://www.jimsengineering.com/
• Thoroughly cleaned all interior surfaces, including bilge. Lots of deceased marine life, mold, and mildew met it's demise at the hand of much Simple Green.

Misc

• October 2010: Painted bottom with Petit Trinidad red
• Cleaned and re-sealed cockpit "manhole" cover. The PO had sealed this cover with silicone, completely eliminating access to the exhaust, packing gland, transmission, and rear of the engine. It took us a couple days to get the cover off.
• Purchased 8'6" Hypalon dinghy with 4hp 2-stroke Suzuki outboard, which lives on foredeck
