What Spring Projects are you Planning
Finally, I want to 'descale' or flush the air conditioning system. In the fall when I was forcing through antifreeze, plenty of gunk came out forward before we saw pink. That unit also seems to be pretty noisy and not as efficient as the salon unit.
Any tips on these projects would be appreciated and lets hear what you have in mind for your boat.

Re: What Spring Projects are you Planning
For us will be the new charger install, the new marine elegance toilet which I am still waiting for the price to drop on amazon. Also have to replace the shunt board for the Victron, someone got antifreeze all over it.....hmmm.
I would also like to install some sort of fitting in the raw water suction lines to permit easy winterizing and flushing if needed. Bronze tee 1 1/4" barb.
Put the camera down the raw water inlet thru hull to check the 1/4 turn balls. Thats about it for now but for sure there will be four times that....

Re: What Spring Projects are you Planning
If I get bored, I'll relocate the hot water heater aft under the bed and utilize the current area to re-position the batteries and increase the size of the house bank.
We have a stern windlass under the aft bed that has never worked so that's on my list. We throw out a stern anchor often and a working windlass would make things much easier.
