Suppose you could go electronic. If so, I would simply set up an excel spreadsheet with tabs for cruising, maintenance, and fuel. But have found the old fashion Evergreen Pacific spiral bound log book to be outstanding. Have logged every time the boat has moved, every maintenance activity, and every gallon of fuel taken on in the last 15 years and still have room to go more. For what it’s worth.

My maintenance log is a mess but all the information is there. Just needs to be sorted out when it comes to new parts installed.

or you could just set up a custom log in Excel

Flats, where do I mail my log book?

I found this to be easy to use and well thought out.

The owners of MV Dirona put together a very nice excel spreadsheet, https://mvdirona.com/2015/03/maintenance-log/
