I carry a steno pad with me everywhere. Make lots of lists and work them off as best that you can. Sure beats trying to remember all the details. One pad lasts me 6 months.
Actually is does recline, and I have an auto pilot.......
I can see some advantages to that! Hehe
But I'm not paying no $5.8k for a damned chair! Lol
I'm perfectly happy to have one helm chair which leaves me relaxing on the
(Let's call it something that sounds fun) settee surrounded by my cutesy throw pillows.
No that chair isn't mounted. Not sure what we're gonna do with that yet. But both times we've taken the boat out...first for sea trial and then on our own with our boat neighbors...nobody ever sat in that chair.
I have contacted the local service guy who has done all of the mechanical, electrical, instrument, etc repair, replace, maint, etc on the boat for the PO. We are meeting tomorrow for him to check out the AC and walk me through all the mods, changes, upgrades, repairs, and any remaining suggestions for fix that he still hasn't done.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Get him to classify them as A, B, and C items.
A = safety, and those items that will quickly deteriorate into bigger issues if not handled now
B = not urgent but highly recommended for the maintenance of the vessel, should be done over the next 12 months.
C + discretionary, will add to your enjoyment and handling of the vessel.

Why is my picture sideways?
Oh yes, lots of learning. And being it's an old boat, we've got old switches and new switches and some switches that don't work or do anything at all. I think hubby's got most of that figured out.
Now we have to sit down and make our project list and try to prioritize it.
Ronny,
It wasn't much of a walk through. He was able to show me some stuff but by then I had figured out most of the systems on my own. And despite the volumous receipts from his company for repairs, fixes, etc his memory of the boat was pretty sparse. As to remaining fixes he couldn't say. I guess he works on so many boats this one just didn't stand out. Based on things I have found though, I would say good mechanic, average plumber, and a bit weak on the electrical stuff. Lol
Did you ever get to the bottom of how all that water got into the tanks..?
