Tasks & projects

Preventive work, seasonal jobs, upgrades, and yard projects — sorted by when they matter, from right now to next spring.

ReliabilityHigh

Verify engine identity from tags

Planned
System
Engine
Component
Main diesel engine
Timing
Now
Effort
Easy onboard inspection

Notes

Critical before ordering any engine parts — M-30/5424, M25, and conflicting spec data all appear in the records. Camera and notebook; compare tags to the manuals.

ReliabilityHigh

Resolve macerator / holding-tank suction issue

In progress
System
Sanitation
Component
Macerator pump
Timing
Now
Effort
Moderate — unpleasant access

Notes

Discharge failure and breaker trips; possible upstream blockage. Hose clamps, sanitation hose, bucket, gloves, tank cleaner; possible vent work.

SafetyHigh

Confirm shore charger LiFePO4 compatibility

Planned
System
Electrical
Component
AC shore charger
Timing
Now
Effort
Easy inspection; changes may be professional

Notes

Do this before plugging into shore power — the old Professional Mariner 50A may not be lithium-safe and its replacement status is unclear. Photograph the model label; check the charge profile.

SafetySafety critical

Replace propane pigtails; leak-test entire system

Planned
System
Galley
Component
Propane pigtails / regulator connections
Timing
Now
Effort
Moderate — use a qualified tech if uncertain

Notes

Aged pigtails are a gas leak risk; required before propane use. Replacement pigtails, gas-rated dope/yellow PTFE for NPT only, leak-test solution.

SafetySafety critical

Replace / inspect standing rigging

Planned
System
Rigging
Component
Standing rigging
Timing
This Season
Effort
Professional / high

Notes

Rigging is original (~40 years) and the survey recommended replacement. 1/4 in 1x19 wire and fittings, cotter pins, turnbuckles as needed; Loos PT-3 for tuning after.

SafetyHigh

Electrical system survey and cleanup

Planned
System
Electrical
Component
DC distribution / bus bars / breakers
Timing
This Season
Effort
Moderate to high

Notes

LiFePO4 charging safety depends on correct charger settings, isolation, fusing, and SmartShunt placement. Labels, multimeter, heat-shrink, terminal hardware, bus bars/fuses as needed.

PreventiveHigh

Replace Racor primary element; verify secondary filter

Parts needed
System
Fuel
Component
Primary fuel filter / water separator
Timing
This Season
Effort
Moderate

Notes

Fuel-system air and contamination have caused no-starts. Racor 2010TM (verify micron), seals, secondary 298854, filter wrench — then bleed until bubble-free.

SafetyMedium

Install bilge float switch; clean bilge filters

Planned
System
Plumbing
Component
Bilge float switch
Timing
This Season
Effort
Moderate

Notes

Adds automatic redundancy and prevents hidden pump failures. Float switch, fuse/wire/connectors, hose and clamps if needed.

UpgradeMedium

Document VHF/AIS/radar; choose the AIS path

Planned
System
Electronics
Component
AIS receiver / transceiver
Timing
This Season
Effort
Moderate

Notes

Installed models are unknown and the AIS decision affects visibility/safety. Candidates: em-trak B953/R300, AIS700, MDA-1, Ray73 — plus cables/splitter/backbone work.

PreventiveMedium

Repair the 1/2 in fiberglass ding

Planned
System
Hull & Deck
Component
Deck
Timing
This Season
Effort
Moderate

Notes

Exposed glass can let water in — urgent if it's in cored deck. Epoxy, colloidal silica, sandpaper, gelcoat/fairing tools.

PreventiveMedium

Service Johnson 8 HP water pump

Parts needed
System
Dinghy
Component
Outboard motor
Timing
This Season
Effort
Moderate

Notes

Dinghy reliability depends on the cooling pump. Kit 0396644 or impeller 0389576; shift-rod connector 0303794 if needed; grease and gaskets.

PreventiveMedium

Photograph all systems into the database

In progress
System
Knowledge base
Component
General
Timing
This Season
Effort
Easy to moderate

Notes

Photos are the primary truth for component locations, wiring, and plumbing paths — and they resolve most of the open verification questions. Camera, naming scheme, import scripts.

SafetyMedium

Verify anchor setup

Planned
System
Anchoring
Component
Primary anchor and rode
Timing
This Season
Effort
Easy

Notes

Anchor type/weight, chain and rode length are unknown and matter for cruising. Tape measure, marking tags, shackle seizing wire.

PreventiveLow

Photograph dinghy capacity plate

Planned
System
Dinghy
Component
Dinghy
Timing
This Season
Effort
Easy

Notes

Max persons/weight/HP unknown — one photo fixes the record.

ReliabilityHigh

Verify prop size and correct over-pitching

Planned
System
Engine
Component
Propeller
Timing
End of Season
Effort
Moderate to professional

Notes

Over-pitched prop lugs the engine, limits RPM to ~2000, and worsens reverse handling. Needs haul-out: prop puller, replacement prop, cotter hardware. Candidates: 14x8 3-blade, 15x9 2-blade, or folding.

SomedayLow

Evaluate transfer pump system (replace filter or remove)

Planned
System
Hull & Deck
Component
Transfer pump system
Timing
Winter Project
Effort
Unknown

Notes

System details are unknown; it may be obsolete. Locate it, trace hoses, then decide: new inline filter or removal.
