Seacocks & skin fittings ?

 

[Clancy Moped]

Drop the anchor and chain onto a pallet, stops any stress on the bow, and gives you a good chance to have look and clean.

 

[Bouba]

Check each blade of your propellers for signs of pinkness, and give each blade a tap with a hammer and listen to the note

 

[Scapegoat]

Clean and polish the hull
Consider fitting rope cutters/strippers/spurs

 

[sharpness]

Check cutless bearings in P brackets and stern tubes.

Antifoul, anodes, thru hull fittings the main ones I think

...any painting/varnishing/other unguent'ing you need to do.. while you wait for that to dry service your life jackets...

Steering a lot forget .

June seems a strange month to pull a boat, unless you live in the southern hemisphere.

My boat is probably coming out in June as well, it’s been in the water a long time and now lockdown is ending, the services I need will hopefully be available

Lockdown does add another dimension although I’d hate to lose potentially the best month of the year on the hard.

Yes, it’s a dilemma, but I can’t go the whole summer without getting anti fouled and anodes etc. Luckily I’m a year round boater, and let’s be honest, the summer madness is often best viewed from a distance?

Your list is good. But as others have said polish the hull, get some decent marina polish

 

[Boater On Thames]

Great! A lot of great advice. I will do all of them.

Drop the anchor and chain onto a pallet, stops any stress on the bow, and gives you a good chance to have look and clean.

Check that the end of the chain is still attached to the boat, preferably with a metre of cord.

I always come out in the summer. Coppercoat so just out for a lift and hold over night or over a weekend. And stay in all winter.
