Thus far: Engine oil & filter changed; Seawater cooling flushed & refilled w/ 50% antifreeze;transmission fluid drained & replaced.
Fresh water system drained; Hot water heater by-passed;all lines filled with that good tasting pink antifreeze; all faucets "run" pink. Shower sump pump line flushed and filled with the pink. The head is similarly in the pink.
All sails have been relocated to a heated facility. Halyards have been replaced with messengers. CQR removed from pulpit and stowed.
The first seacock has been lapped (it's the only one that needed the attention) and has been cleaned and regreased with Spartan's finest.
To be done: Check for possible leak into anchor rode locker; Fuel filter replacement (spring time), swap yankee halyard shackle end-for-end;take two dodger panels to canvas shop for minor repair; repair a few minor hull blisters;replace head;clean & regrease the hard-to-reach seacocks; Cetol; redo boot top;apply bottom paint;clean & wax hull; hope for an early spring.
Ah sailing
Every best wish to all from the Maintenance Department!
