Well 2 weeks of sanding almost and its done.

Painting tomorrow, and a new port cutless bearing, hope to launch Monday.

Found both engines had the same firing order. I'm hoping this is why the port moter wasn't running up in gear.

Ok 2 days of sanding and its half done. I have this light can anyone tell me whats missing or what to replace it with. 20200419_120255(1)~2.jpg Also here is the compartment in my mid cabin with the tiny bilge and the fresh water pump was.

4 hours of scraping and the hull is clean.

Found just a nibble of zinc on one trim tab. Glad to find nothibg obviously wrong under the boat.

Tomorrow is sanding.

When dealing with a boat that has been under maintained - PROCEED WITH CAUTION Generally, when a boat goes up for sale, all maintenance and repair stops Believe me, when I bought mine from the original owner - he owned her for 18 years - among a myriad of other things, all the seacocks were stuck o...

The zincs are for sure gone. I replaced the heat exchanger ones the other day and they where completly gone. Since the boat comes out in the morning I wont worry about the fish but thanks for the idea. If you haven't already, you might want to pull off the end caps on the heat exchangers to make su...

Ok she's out of the water. Yard guys say the hull looks good. After a good cleaning, scraping, sanding, and painting she will be back to the water.

Checking seacocks and everything else today. New zincs otw. Luckily the metals are not damaged.

[*]remove any remaining MALERON thru hulls - likely on the sides of the hull I am not sure what MALERON are but all the visible through hulls are metal except for 1 black on on each side of the hull thats almost at the cap forward of the vents I will check them all. I believe what RWS was referring...

[*]make sure ALL of your seacocks operate correctly [*]remove any remaining MALERON thru hulls - likely on the sides of the hull [*]before you remove her from the water, eyeball the areas where the trim tabs are attached to verify you have no slow leak (I had one that would just seep, took YEARS to...

Alright guys haul out happens Wednesday. They include a pressure wash and blocking.

Aside from bottom paint, checking all the running gear, and replacing all the zincs, anything else specfic i should check look into while out of the water?

So I feel stupid. The little space under the cockpit is the Mid-Cabin. In the area peoples feet go the PO put the fw pump. Also in the space aft of the toqards the er wall is a small bilge pump and I think its the depth sensor.

Does anyone have a good pic of how that area should look?

Thanks! Hopefully that's all it was. I'm just grabbing a new cord and will try it out.

Joyous fun trying to replace the missing ER bilge pump I wired it up apparently to the wrong wires I wired it to the High Water alarm wiring so as soon as I put the battery on my ho...
