With 2008 winding down and the threat of a bad winter as well as some much needed drive maintenance I was hauled out today. But first before blocking we had her weighed just about full of fuel, no water and with full gear. She tipped the Toledo at 6,300 pounds. I thought it would have been a little more but at that weight being full I can tow her with the new truck.
Once she was blocked I flushed the motor, changed the oil and filter and winterized the motor. This weekend I will get the stateroom and pilothouse cleaned up and then get her covered up. Then I can start in on my winter projects.
- Have wheels re-pitched
- Drive service
- Replace bellows
- Replace gimbal bearing
- New aft bilge pump
- Replace forward bilge pump
- Replace two rod holders
- Add three new rod holders
- Install outriggers
- Install inverter
- New cockpit power point
- Plumb outdrive discharge overboard
- Install fishbox macerator
And I am sure I will find a few others. A few of these items I have been putting off for some time, hopefully I can get them all taken care of this winter.
