Then there is the water tank - it leaks at the top. Will be going up during the weak to do a little caulking job around the lid. Hopefully the water system will work without having to crawl into the lazareet and pulling a suction on the outlet pipe of the pump to get it going. May need a new pump since it doesn't seem to want to self-prime.
Oil change - no where as daunting as I expected. Bought a $40 oil changer from Westmarine and it works like a dream - 2 liters of oil isn't that much after all.
We sailed three times this last weekend, all with the 110 (or is it 130) job - this weekend will give it a try with the 150 Genoa.
What do I think we need yet?
- Wheel brake for the pedestal steering - someone removed the handle and spares are no longer available but there is a replacement available.
- Pedestal guard - hard to find the right one to use since we don't have a Edson pedestal - but might be able to use an Edson guard.
- Drink holders - got to find someplace to set the liquid refreshment
- BIMINI - an absolute necessity when the sun beats down
- Furling headsail - right after we get the bimini!
- Some replacement plastic windows for the Gray ports (unbelievably crazed from the sun)
The list will probably never end - but I am told a boat costs less than counselling sessions!!
