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.

Bilge Pumps



Engine

  • Installed new impeller and carbon bushing in raw water pump
  • Fabricated from 1 1/2" galvanized pipe and installed new exhaust water injection elbow
  • Changed oil in engine and transmission (February 2010)
  • Changed belts


Electrical




Plumbing




Galley

  • Installed new gimballed Force 10 Gourmet Galley 2-burner range and oven
  • Re-bedded galley sink
  • Recovered galley countertop


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




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

  1. Wow... I'm awed by what you've gotten accomplished. I think we're leading parallel lives here!

    Congratulations- you should be in great shape for some fine sailing.
