Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.
Seems like a good time of year to start a lively thread on this "Seamanship" subject:
I'll throw out some "12-days of Christmas" ideas to get things going:
1. Dual Battery setup
2. VHF Marine radio
3. Man-Overboard Safety Cutoff Lanyard
4. Onboard battery charger (permitting dockside re-charging)
5. Automatic Fire Extinguisher(s) for engine compartment
6. Independent Bilge pump and Blowers
7. Automatic Bilge pump on 24-hr power feed
8. Upgrade (sterndrive) Transom seal (convert obsolete OMC round to rectangular seal)
9. Upgrade (sterndrive) Rope-Pulley steering to OMC Tru-Course, push-push cable steering
10. Upgrade to Submersible LED trailer lights
11. Upgrade (sterndrive) Ignition system (Coil-points-distributor) to HEI-type electronic ignition
12. Add fuel pump discharge overflow line to carb (sterndrive)
