Boat maintenance

[W11]

As it looks unlikely to be able to visit my 13 m motor boat based around Barcelona in 2020 , what lifting / engine maintenance would be recommended with minimal use

Same as before .
Can’t see a few air filters and oil filters are gonna break the bank ? Certainly fresh oil as its nasty acid substances need regular dilution with a change out .
Anodes yup refresh / replace for piece of mind .

As far as antifoul depends how certain you are not gonna use it until the 21 season ....presume Easter is your regular lift and AF ?
If your are certain it’s not gonna move at all , then skip this .
The jet wash off next April / May is not your problem ,but they may charge you for the inevitable extra time of 2 years growth .

But really you need a guardian to regularly check it and excerise seacocks , run up the Aircon , toilets and other pumps .
Personally we run our engines a few times over the winter to lub various seals and move oil about .
I also turn the shafts .Others are in the leave engines alone camp .
But there’s a big difference of packing up late Oct and resuming the following Easter compared to 18 months of inactivity.

Thanks for the professional reply, very concise and much as I was thinking , but thought a different opinion was worthwhile
