Thanks everyone. I actually used a small amount of boat wash, vinegar and water and elbow grease with a green pad and it helped clean up the cockpit and stern. It was a bit windy on Sunday, so I wasn't comfortable spraying acid anywhere. Still stained, which I will try a little oxalic acid on it but I actually didn't mind sitting down in the cockpit after that. I should have taken before and after photos. Still have the cabin top and bow if the boat so I still can. But had to deal with so many feathers, sticks and bird poop.

I'll hold off sailing it off the mooring at the moment. The standing rigging was last done in 2011, according to receipts I found on board.so unsure if the condition. I was trying to clean the rigging so I could exam and see if there broken strands anywhere.


But I did find heaps of paperwork An original Bukh owners manual, bukh service manual, manuals for all the electronics, receipts dating back to the 90's which told me my engine is not the original Bukh but was replaced with a reconditioned DV20. The engine was last serviced in 2021, according to paperwork but had issues shortly after and has been a bit neglected.

I did think of putting a temporary engine in the back in the meantime, I'll see how I go with the Bukh over the next few weekends.

The Bukh service manual is available online from Bukh. Should help with the job. I haven't had to do it yet. But will be doing some work on my engine over the weekend
