Kerry,
I don't know why the formating is going wrong, but here is another try.
I keep my boat informattingfornia delta where the water temperature doesn't get
very cold. So, I don't have much of a winterizing routine. In fact,
it was my intention to eventually move to the Northwest along with my boat and
I am not happy about the idea of having to winterize things such as the water
system.
My annual list is:
Oil/filters
Coolant
Zincs
Trans oil
Raw water impellers.
This year, knowing the impellers had not been changed I several years, and not
knowing what the previous owner, had done, finding the pumps in pretty bad
shape was not much of a surprise. I finally identified the ITT Jabsco pump
used on my engines (they just say Detroit Dieselspan> on the cover plate). I am
replacing one and rebuilding the other. The other old pump will be
rebuilt and carried as a spare. The problem is the pulley. My DD
parts supplier says DD wants $822 for a new pump, but it included the
pulley! Well, that pulley can't be worth $590. That's about the
difference between the one I have ordered elsewhere. I have been thinking
about how I can make a pulley and now I have found what appears to be a DD part
number on the old one. I am going to see if the pulley is available and
if so, how much! It would be nice to have a complete pump/pulley assembly
available as my spare. Changing the pulley on board would be difficult.

Good list. Thank you David. How often do you tackle
each of those items in the list? Also, any winterizing routine? We
will be using our boat through the winter too so I am still trying to decide
what to do about things like the water system.
Thanks,
Kerry

Kerry,
I also have an aft cabin '42, but its an '84, listings call them
"DCMY", and the orginal documents state she is an SE II. Mine
runs the 8.2L Detroit Diesels. My list looks like this:
Replace pencil zincs in the engines and Onan genset.
Replace coolant in STB engine.
Replace raw water pump on STB engine.
Refurbish raw water pump on Port engine.
Replace coolant hoses on STB engine (circulating pump to right exh. manifold
and circulating pump to oil cooler).
Change engine oil and filters.
Change transmission oil and clean/check internal screens.
Re-route pressure house water at water heater (to eliminate some 90*
turns).
Install a pressure regulator on the house water system.
Replace the shower heads in both heads.
The list seems to grow as I go!

OK guys, as we go into that time of the year where we roll
up our sleeves and dig into the projects we avoided all season, here is my
winter "project" list:
Here is my project list so far:
Rewire the flybridge
Replace my fresh water tanks
Rebuild the starters
Install diesel primer pump
Replace my rear head and all hoses
What about the routine maintenance? I have a 42
Aft Cabin with 671's. Anyone have a copy of their maintenance schedule
they would be willing to share? I want to know everything from engine
maintenance, to bottom paint to zincs, props, etc. I plan on having
this boat for many many years. Our family loves it. I want to
make sure our baby gets taken care of properly. On a side note...what
winter projects do you guys have going on this winter?
Thanks,
Kerry
