Pre Summer boat maintence

[LandyAndy]

I uncovered the boat yesterday to crank it up and start some pre summer maintence.
Removed the floor,all ok down below,as you would expect on a 2003 boat that has only done 177hours.
I will be replacing the fuel lines and bilge pump for peace of mind.
Also hardwiring my second spare battery with a marine 2 way switch too.
Few other small jobs and she is ready for the Xmas holiday break.:cool::cool::cool::cool:

andy,
Source some marine silicon hose for the fuel line.
Yamaha product is the stuff i have been able to find in cairns

You will never have to replace it again. Well worth thr price.

change your gearbox oil and look for signs of milky oil, if present do the seals in the box. If no leaks remove the leg and put some grease on the top spline where it goes into the engine head/crank. Remove prop and grease the spline.

forgot, fit new plugs and keep the old ones in the boat for spares, check expiry date on flares, check condition of pull start rope. check life jackets, if self inflating check condition of cycinders
Then when all that is done andy head north.
