Despite being in salt water (the lower James River in southeast Virginia) for five years, my bottom paint has only recently quit. My pal Teddy and I sailed her over to Dandy Haven Marina in Hampton where she's just been hauled. The bottom looked surprisingly good. The marina's owner, Scot, says a light sanding and she'll be ready for new paint. I have a huge laundry list of other projects I need to address while she's on the hard, including bottom and topsides paint, some gel coat repairs, replacing the standing rigging, painting the mast, and a whole host of other things I'll be on here asking for help with. If you think of anything that would typically be addressed in this situation that I haven't mentioned, please let me know. One big concern relates to the prop shaft and it's various bits. The stuffing box needs, at the least, repacking. I'm putting on a new Flex-o-fold folding prop and one of those crap pot line cutters. I noticed recently that, when the boat was sailing fast enough for the prop shaft to turn (engine off and transmission in neutral), the rotation of the shaft caused the engine (the usual 2GM20F) to rock in its mounts. I assume this means that their is an alignment issue I need to address. I was told by the surveyor when I bought the boat five years ago that the mounts, while serviceable, were not Yanmar mounts. I'm tempted to put new Yanmar mounts in while working on the alignment. Any tips on where to source those? Is the cutless bearing something I should be able to replace myself? Any tips on checking alignment?
