Maintenance

Whatever oil, cleaners, wax, filters, maintenance manuals, instruction booklets etc I have come with the boat.  As of right now, all my tools come with the boat as well though I may take a couple of my favorites home with me.  We can consider the tools “negotiable” at this point.

Mechanical

The engine is a Perkins 4-108/ Westerbeke W40.  The entire lower end was recently replaced (Nov 2008).  We thought we had a fuel system problem (hence the spare fuel injection pump) and worked on the engine for several weeks only to learn that our repeated attempts at starting the motor with the raw water thru hull open eventually sucked water into the cylinders.  Instead of ordering new parts we decided to replace the entire lower end with a unit we found on hand in Tahiti.   The cost was over $8,000US and it was carried out by a professional mechanic in Papeete.  This included a paint job and complete cleaning and rebuild.  The motor supplies somewhere between 40 and 44 hp to a fixed three blade bronze prop.  Oil changes every 150 hours.  Primary fuel filter changes every 50 hours.  Secondary fuel filter changes with every oil change.  She runs smoke free and I intend to keep it that way.  Engine temp stays at 180. I am anal about engine maintenance. It stays clean and I do visual inspections daily and check the oil every couple of days.  I will continue to maintain the engine in this manner till the day she sells.
Overall shot of the engine room. Clean, Clean, Clean Port side of the engine looking aft. Balmar 150 in the background Starboard side of the engine looking aft. Note the oil pressure gauge at the engine.
The boat has a Walter V-drive and Paragon transmission.  With the Paragon, you must press the clutch lever down while in reverse.  The boats backs to the left.

I installed a new 12 volt fuel pump day before yesterday to help in priming the Racor 500 fuel filter during filter changes.  The old one purchased in S. America began to leak.   Simply drain and clean the filter bowl, replace the filter and o-rings, open the bleeder valve on the engine, turn on the pump till the air bubbles stop, close the valve, and you’re done.  Takes 5 minutes.  I’ve never had a fuel constriction and needed to change the filter underway.  The tank was cleaned in 2004.  The bowl is VERY clear.
A nice clean fuel filter means a happy engine
Engine access is fairly decent.  You can remove a panel under the sink for easy access to the fuel filters.  Impeller changes are done from the starboard cockpit locker.  Oil pressure gauge in cockpit and in engine room.  Engine alarms are functional.

Primary is a Raymarine C80 Radar/Chartplotter

Rigging and Sails

Main Halyard and reefing lines at mainmast but room for those lines to be lead aft to existing rope clutches under dodger.  I kept it this way during my ownership of the boat because I like the sailing to be simple as possible and if I’m paying attention to the weather I won’t mind going forward to reef because it’s not that bad yet!

Tender

The “Short Bus” is a Caribe L-9 9 foot Hypalon Dinghy.  All I can say is this thing is built tough.  Check out the blog if you want to know why.  Huge tubes, DRY boat.  No leaks, Hypalon is in great shape.  No bench seat.  Engine is a Nissan 4 Stroke 8HP Motor.  2004 I believe.  Runs great.  Minimal Rust.  Will plane with both me and Marge on board.
