Haul time
 

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.

Cutlass bearing, packing gland, shaft alignment inspect/adjust, rudder
bearing service and cable adjustment, replace old rusty anchor chain with
new rusty anchor chain, the list goes on and on.....

No joke. However, this is the first haul in about 3 years for her. No
appreciable bottom growth, minor expenses between then and now.

It was done last time... I'll check it for sure, but I doubt it's an issue.

I've been getting by with only hauling every few years, rather then
once a year and had the same outlook toward cutlass bearings but the
past couple of haul outs the bearing hasn't been "that bad" so I left
it alone and a year or so later began to get rattling and vibration at
certain RPMs. Dive down and shake the prop and sure enough the bearing
is loose. Now I just automatically change it every time I have the
boat out of the water. (Even got my own puller :-)

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...)

Well, it's been 3 years and the diver who checked it for me said it felt
fine. I'll check it myself, but I'm pretty sure it's ok. There's no
vibration I can feel on the wheel.
