Ah Spring....Boat work season. I alluded to the project I did last week and the one I started the side panel. Well that has led to some additional places which I will get to. Also on the agenda was the normal boat work for the spring plus some:
Change fuel filters
check all electrics
charge and clean batteries
bleed steering system
paint the nose of the outboard bullets (getting corroded due to the fact they settle in the the water)
replace zincs (Marina to do this and paint the bottom)
clean everything (getting outside detailed by marina)
What didn't go as planned? I noticed a steering fluid leak (one side was replaced a few years ago but the other is old) now I have to rebuild to replace the seals
A light is out (and has been) in the helm area so I have to replace that
The fuel is weeping around one of the priming bulbs just like last year which I fixed using a special clamp and tool, but it is now doing it again. I cut the fuel line because that side was too long and maybe contributing to the leaks (had to buy a special cutter so the cut was straight).
Oh and still working on the side panel shown below.
