Remarks
To do
One slight weep where the old transducer went.
Due for slip and anti foul.
Done one hall yard so far but did intend on doing them all.
New stainless reef cable is there ready to go back in the boom.
Tested batteries a year ago and they were fine, still no issues with them but could be coming up to get new ones based on age.
Last survey was june 2025
Minor issues and all have been addressed,
Correct exhaust hose was the main one
Gutted to see her go but don't have the time to enjoy her fully anymore.
