Looks like I'm going to get her (Sabre 30, MkII, 1982) hauled in a few
days.

Short list of TBDs:

paint
prop zincs
full engine service, including valve adjustment, oil, filter, zincs,
impeller, etc.
add 2nd Racor filter with quick switch
relap two seacocks (bronze Spartens)
replace the steaming light
pull extra wires from the masthead to the base, add a Windex light

Of course, there are lots of other things to do.

Yeah..we havwe to do that sometime in March...have to go down to
Oriental to do it since we draft too deep for the boatyards here and
have been stuck in the mud there once before..and we weren't too pleased
with them anyway...we'vew been having the divers scrape the bottom
seasonaly and it's pretty clean and they replaced one zinc last time but
we need the stuffing box repacked and stuff like that (and no, Doug...I
do not want to do that in the water...not that I have no faith in you
guys but...)


I've done it several times on a couple of different boats. It's really
pretty easy and unless you take forever, it's not going to sink the boat.
Some water comes in, but it's not like a fire hose.

uhuh..optimal word...water...come...in....slow....Mutt...Jeff... .


If you haven't tried it yourself, you should get someone who has to show
you. It's an interesting experience, certainly was for me the first time I
saw it and definitely the first time I did it myself.
