Post by: Mark Sutherland on October 07, 2011, 10:57:59 PM
Does anyone have a checklist of service items I should address during my next haulout for bottom paint?  Thanks much.

I'd look at items around the prop and shaft:  cutlass bearing, zincs, stuffing box flax, and prop itself.  I'd also look for play around the rudder.

To add while on the hard you may want to check the tork on your Keel bolts.

Seeing your boats age, I would check the rudder for water intrusion and internal corrosion.  This is one place that a quick look over may not show a problem with serious consequences.
