I love lists, and I have seen a few great lists lately of things I would like to remember to do next time in the haulout. I am going to print out the list and stick it in the front of a maintenance log book. The maintenance log book will record all the things that get fixed, replaced or maintained along the way, and I will also add in the cost of what was done and perhaps where the parts were procured from.
- Book haulout
- Get tiedowns and ropes ready for the cradle
- Ladder
- Wet weather gear and boots for the waterblaster
- Sand off antifoul and repaint
- Wash and dry all sails
- Change engine oil and filter and sail drive oil
- Replace anodes on motor and sail drive
- Replace fuel filter
- Replace impeller
- Spray engine with WD40
- Full up fuel tanks
- Clean battery terminals and smear with vaseline
- Check rig – wear & tear, corrosion, sheaves, lights, tangs, split pins, spreaders
- Check lifelines
- Inspect all lines for chafing, wash sheets
- Wash out anchor locker, check all shackels
- Interior – vacuum clean and polish everything – walls, clean inside cupboards, bilge and fridge
- Check all electrical systems are working ok
- Empty fresh water tanks and clean out
- Polish stainless
- Overhaul the winches
Things to take – I have got some lovely boxes in my garage which are full of all the things I regularly use in the haulout. I throw them all in the back of my car to take along with me so I have everything there.
