Let the jobs begin

Mother's day was greeat weather. Enough time for me to scrape and lightly sand the bottom and apply 1 coat of multi season ablative paint. Also spent hours repacking the shaft and alomost dislocating my elbow in the process. Had a leak in the water tank plumbing from last season. I removed the leaky fitting and applied a good dose of pipe thread dope. Hopefully that addresses the issue. Sometime in the near future a new tank is needed.

Finally, 2 zincs added to the shaft. Last year the one zinc was GONE at the end of the season.

Next up: install new Garmin 3205 with GMR18 radome on new (yet to be delivered) Garhauer radar pole. Install batteries, rebed chainplates.
