Today I managed to squeeze aboard Alana. The close proximity an the adjacent boat meant that every strainer, hose, Heineken and filter had to be carried aboard individually, but with some careful maneuvering, I got it done.
I replaced the hoses between my though-hull petcocks and Alana's 4 strainers. Like everything I do for Alana, the job took twice as long as I anticipated. New hose and new double hose clamps should provide some peace of mind over the next 10 or so years, so I guess the sweat and banged up knuckles were worth it.
I also replaced the generator and auxilliary diesel's fuel filters which I had cleaned out over the winter, using all new fuel hoses. I'm hopeful that the cleaning and rebuilding of the petcock at the bottom of the generator's filter will resolve a nagging leak and allow the generator to function more reliably
