363 on the engines. About 1250 on the genny. Tranny coolers had about 275 maybe? They can lead to catastrophic tranny failure, and have (friend's boat). I was in the process of switching over to fresh water rinsing my engines. I wanted a fresh start.

I do all except:

Canvas Work
Engines Alignments
Bottom Paint
Bottom Cleaning (used to do it)
Prop/Shaft work
I didn't do the manifolds, buy may next time

One of the good things about boats is that they contribute to the growth of the ecomony as we maintain them. People forget about that . Another good thing is that they give us something to do when we would otherwise be doing nothing.

Love that boat.
