2018 -- Maintenance

1. 2018-11-27 Moved the boat to Smith's Marina. Changed engine and transmission oil and engine filter. Removed main and jib. Fully charged batteries. Propylene glycol in heat exchanger and exhaust.
2. 2018-11-20 Intended to sail, but 15 gusting to 23 in the slip combined with 50 degree tempuratures deterred me. Removed cushions, spinnakers, and some other items in preparation for winter.
3. 2018-10-29 Starboard side genoa track, all three but for the last one of the last four screws did not have nuts! Added washers and nylock nuts: 1/4"-20's. Tightened 3/4" bronze bolt securingrudder. It has wored its way loose. Needs washer and lock washer.
4. 2018-10-19 Replaced the existing, original?, genoa cars and Selden 60 mm plain bearing block blocks with Garhauer 40-40 US track car single block s. Bolts at the aft end of the genoa tracks are 7/16".
5. 2018-10-16 Installed 14mm Antal low friction ring for the second reef with a 2.5" 5/16" soft shackle. Replaced the four #8 1-1/2" square drive screws that were no longer holding the starboard portion of the engine box frame to the galley fore-n-aft bulkhead with #10 1-1/2" Philips drive screws (FAS SM 10112 P) that I had aboard. Cleaned engine raw water strainer, very little material or growth.
6. 2018-10-14 Worked on Latika, Woody's boat, from noon till five pm, repairing damage to the wiring due to an unfused inverter catching fire. Removed wiring with all the insulation burned off. Got the engine running again. Woody can now take the boata home and continue the re-wiring there.
7. 2018-10-09 Second reef and jib halyard.
8. 2018-09-04 Tried to remove bronze link at bottom of Selden roller furler. Even with the Selden rigging screw fully extended and the backstay loosened so that the screws where just a few turns into the turnbuckle body, not the hollow, still needed half an inch more. Fit to the third hold back on the stem, but not the first. Reinserted the bronze link.
9. 2018-08-28 Replaced red tape marked black battery cable from Aft #2 House battery to Guest switch with red cable salvaged from Interrupt #367. Moved alternator connection to Fore #1 Start battery.
10. 2018-08-22 Installed LiDiVi Dual USB Charger and Voltmeter
11. 2018-08-21 Salvaged additional items from Interrupt #367.
12. 2018-08-07 Removed existing genoa and attempted to bend on the genoa from Interrupt #367. The luff aat 34.0 feet is about 14 inches too long. If the halyard shackle is removed and the halyard tied directly to the upper swivel, it would be possible to gain as much as seven inches of hoist. Not enough. Rather disappointing. Returned the borrowed v-berth cushions to Argo. Low 90's, quite humid, little wind. No sailing today.
13. 2018-08-03 Hull Cleaned by Patrick McMahon, Diver for Hire
14. 2018-08-01 Removed existing mainsail and bent on the main from Interrupt #367. Had to modify the outhaul and the tack attachments. Took nearly three hours. Hot (90), humid day, sweat dripping freely.
15. 2018-07-30 Salvaged Various Items from Interrupt #367.
16. 2018-07-02 Various Items for Cruising.
17. 2018-06-26 Cleaned main cabin with TSP solution. Emptied storage areas in galley. Cleaned galley and sink. Test rigged the sunshade without the dodger by adding to grommets to the front of the shade. and running lines to the forward lower shrouds. Test rigged the Breeze Bandit using wood scraps to hold the base and line from starboard to port forward lowers.
18. 2018-06-19 Installed fiddles on the shelves either side of v-berth.
19. 2018-06-15 Cleaned Gusher Galley Pump (image).
20. 2018-06-14 Installed ceiling on port side of v-berth.
21. 2018-06-12 Installed ceiling on starboard side of v-berth.
22. 2018-06-10 Hull Cleaned by Patrick McMahon, Diver for Hire
