Triggered by the teak thread.
There are many things I am quite able to do on the boat, but some of these I would prefer to pay someone to do. Other things I would rather not pay for and do myself.
What things do you do, or pay to have done?
I'm thinking from the posts I have seen on here that there are many who do EVERYTHING themselves. And good on you for being able and willing to do that!
For example:
I will NOT mess with electrical - DC or AC.
I will replace pumps and many other straight plug-in same replacements. Like batteries. I even replaced a manual head with an electric one on the last boat.
I will not wax the boat in the Florida heat. That is a young man's job!
I will top up fluids (steering, engine and tranny) but I prefer to leave the annual engine maintenance to the authorized engine guy.
I will pay for the bottom job and the twice yearly diver to clean and check zincs.
