Boat Commissioning and tune up

[WMalloy382]

Okay... I am not new to this, but asking around never hurts so-

Boat is in the shop now getting commissioned and I tell the guy the same thing every year.

" I have more money than time, If it looks like it might need work, fix it"

Now thats just something I say, I don't have time or money these days.., but if the boat breaks down in August, i could loose half my summer waiting for a repair.

So each year I have the following done whether it needs it or not.

97 Mariner - Carburetor ( gas hog but I swear damn near bulletproof)

Full tune - Filters, Plugs etc..

Fuel test

New water pump ( whether it need it or not)

Test Batteries , fix any fuses..

Bilge Pump test. I have 2 on my 24 foot

I'm just thinking out loud. I usually spend about 800 - 1800/year depending on what gets done. The guy is good and I have yet to loose a day in the summer due to breakdowns..But anything else you guys do, especially in the NE that I'm missing?
