My husband and I are both pilots as well (he's now an instructor at Flight Safety Int'l) and we also had a checklist on our sailboat. A whole lot of people thought we were nuts, but it saved us several times. We'll have a detailed one on our trawler when we finally find one. And you are so right that it's easy to just run the checklist without really seeing. Same as it's easy to miss something critical in a scan on a passage. Being situationally aware seems to be a lost art these days because of the constant distractions we're exposed to on a daily basis.
