Re: And it begins
Well a small project was pulling the pumps and heat exchanger for inspection. One of the pully wheel is bent, the impellers look good and the heat exchanger is clear.

Re: And it begins
Project 2: ALL the port lights leak. As in buckets under each window. Good thing it did freeze back up. Wood trim removed, 1/4 plywood removed (totally rotted).

Re: And it begins
Well its been one of those years. I think we all can say that. I recently (2 days ago) had back surgery. Needless to say this whole "Now it begins" has turned into "Now its paused". Not really allowed to do much for the next 6-weeks or so. I will get back to it after the pause.
Next list of items while the boat is on the hard include the packing gland, sanding and repainting the bottom and renting a man lift to replace all the goodies on top of bot mast. I may also start replacing the sails, main first, but that can happen once it is back in the water.
Hopefully come April I can get back to it between work.

Re: And it begins
Well since there is a wee bit of snow around the boat I figured I might as well remove the water heater. Back is feeling better and the 12-f helps to keep thing numb.

Re: And it begins
And back to it. Looking for a pesky leak that only occurs while running the engine. Checking out the wet exhaust now. May have to cut an access hole to get to the high spot loop.
