Good luck, hope you get back in quickly. Do you liv aboard? We do so every haul out makes life complicated. We seem to have to haul about every 6 months for one thing or another. Two years ago the boatyard renamed our boat yo yo. She had to be hauled 5 times in about 10 weeks. But now we have been 14 months. Hauling tomorrow for a scrub and replace the anodes in Cambridge MD.

Good luck, Marty!

Don't you just hate seeing your boat in the air on slings like a fish out of water?

Had my boat hauled out last month where it stayed in the boatyard for four weeks. Except for awaiting a couple of parts (not critical to the boat's operation), work was completed in two weeks. Work included engine maintenance, rebuilding raw-water pump, bottom inspection/maintenance, diagnosing inverter, and several minor items. Of course, the parts arrived two days after taking the boat back.

I have the boat hauled annually.

Replacing shaft and rudder zincs also.[/QUOTE]

What metal are your anodes? Zinc, Aluminum, magnesium? We spend a lot of time in brackish water, and also some fresh water, as well as salt water. We switched to Aluminum, for our application.

Al we just saw TF' s Bob Duthie 36 Grand Banks last week . His varnish is the best we've seen. Joy said it's time for more on William , maybe this fall .tadhana our's are zinc . William came from salt water . I think the yard said we needed magnesium for this area .

Marty, try moving your rudder zinc to the bottom of the rudder, out of the prop wash - it diminished the vibration I was having and makes the rudder more effective.

Marty,
Those people in front of William .. are they normal sized people? William looks huge behiend them. Did'nt reaiize she was that big.
I'm getting back to Willy and feeling good about it. Will be hauling her very soon too. Clean and new coat of bottom paint, zincs and other usual stuff. Not insignificant is that I'm going back to the old prop. Except for reverse thrust the old one has better performance. Gets rated rpm plus a bit (perfect) but is a tad pink and thin. Only 40hp to feed it but I'm going to have it checked out first. Saturday I pulled only 2700rpm but most of that is probably bottom growth.
Anyway good luck w you'rs Marty.

Xsbank,
One of the first things I did on Willy is move the two zincs up near the top of the rudder out of the propwash. Close to the hull there's less water velocity so even less drag. Fly stuff I'm sure but ......

Early summer is the worse season here so that's when I prefer to suspend boating for maintenance and repair. The winds are generally the fiercest at this time. For instance, had planned to take the boat out today, but it was cold with howling, strong winds, so we spent the afternoon in the marina.
