Hi,
As a newbie to boating and having just brought a 1992 290 Sundancer with twin 170hp engines, I am looking for help & advice on what needs to be done to make sure it is safe to leave on the water.
The boat has been left on the water (Salt) for 'over two years' so I am about to have it lifted and inspected by a local marine engineering company.
There's the obvious work that will need to be done such as jet washing, anti-fouling, replacing anodes and cleaning/reproofing the canopy, but I would like help from others here as to what other jobs may need doing.
There are certain valves/seals such as those linked to the 'Head' which may need to be replaced, and I will need to get the water tank flushed/sterilised, the holding tank flushed and stale petrol drained (Hope this makes sense!)
A list of things to look at would be nice which I can then attempt to price up.
*** Guesstimates on prices gratefully received as are recommendations on local specialists to do the jobs. ***
Boat is currently moored at Brighton Marina
Please try not to be to technical in your replies, and please be nice as we were all newbies once
Many thanks,
Indy
