Maintenance/Repair Details: With the changing weather pattern over the last few days we decided to winterise the boat and prepare her for the winter months. As per previous years the following steps have been taken to safe guard the systems.
- Fresh water system and tank emptied and blown through to remove water in the piping.
- Chemical loo emptied and cleaned, header tank emptied of fresh water.
- Bedding removed and vacuumed bagged.
- Engines run up and checked for leaks or issues.
- Anti-freeze pumped through the raw water cooling system.
- Mast removed and stored internally.
- General wash of boat and check of fittings.
- Anchor winch sprayed with WD40 and winter cover applied.
Due to the lack of use of Kevayling during 2024 (like many a year full of issue in life) we have only used 32 ltrs of diesel⛽(16 ltrs per tank) and as such do not require filling the fuel tanks to avoid condensation.
Over the winter we plan on refurbishment of internal woodwork and possible renewal of cabin(s) and wheelhouse carpets.
