Boat Chores aint done yet... but I'm working!
I've been busy recently trying to get all my pre-travel boat chores done. The plan is to sail the boat to Texas in June and put Prodigal on the market for sail. After 13 years it's time to move back on land. But first there are a few things to get finalized.
Here is my to-do list:
- chart plotter (the big screen) it stopped showing our GPS location. Needed a new control/mother board. Repaired in Ft Lauderdale for $700. I just reinstalled it last week. (technician labor $300)
- compass (note: low oil level in the bubble) it got so low it didnt work. replaced it for $550.
- hatch covers / on order via local vendor ($200)
- dinghy trim / i'm working on this - slowly ($50)
- freezer / it stopped working this week. I got a new controller yesterday via UPS. Hopefully the AC guy can work me into his busy schedule soonest. (part $250 + labor)
- forward head & holding tank / I have this scheduled and parts purchased. (parts $650 + labor)
- aft macerator / tbd (something just aint right. I'm checking on it)
- wind indicator (top center) it's been acting "flaky" lately and is intermittent. (it worked fine yesterday, but didnt last week when i tried it) I'm on their schedule... ($???)
- dentist / I cracked a tooth and got a crown this week. Not boat work, but gotta get done. ($1,300)
