[C320-list] Spare parts list and Tools Recommendations

[Pat Ireland]

Danny

We are new to the 320 and still learning, so others will have better
information.  Here are some additional ideas that you might consider.

A box or bag to store/organize all ......zip lock bags help and you need
them for other uses.

Toilet wax rings.  Works well to plug hull breach when wood plugs do not
match hole
The foam cones that recently became available look like a good solution.
Wonder if the coated foam cockpit cushions would work in an emergency?

Socket drive Phillips drivers - size for compass

Assorted electrical wire, lugs, splices, fuses and holders, heat shrink
insulation, butane solder iron, heat gun, wire stripper

120volt bilge pump (for emergency pumping at dock) - backup 12volt bilge
pump (installed)

Rebuild kit for Manual bilge pump

1 case whisky, 1 case beer, 1 case wine....for when another 320 shows up to
say hello.

electrical wiring snake, messenger line

bedding compound (life caulk...or your favorite, not silicon - Butyl tape is
also recommended and might be best for an emergency kit.  It lasts
forever. )  Putty knifes

Mineral oil for lubrication of head pump - vinegar or alternative to
neutralize uric acid

Rebuild kit for head

Spare deck plugs and wrench for diesel, water, and waste (they jump
overboard)

Running Rig shackles (1/4-5/16" captive screw)

Sponge, buckets, scrub brush  (bucket is your backup manual bilge pump -
think sturdy)


Pick set (needed to remove packing gland material, consider a heavy duty
one)

Nuts, bolts, washers, and screws

Wood glue, epoxy......crazy glue

A length of hatch seal tape (Bomar product, but works on Lewmar) .... do it
and forget it or...

Sail repair needles, thread, patch material........other canvas patch
material, snap repair tools

A bundle of rags or paper towels

A vacuum oil removal vessel, funnels.....clean empty bottle with screw cap
for waste liquid...

Battery water fill bottle......turkey baster will work, but drips

Nitril or latex gloves and hand cleaner

A battery powered drill, drill bits, and screw driver bits are quite nice -
hand drills can be helpful as well.  A lanyard will help keep tools on the
boat.  Proven fact, tools, hardware, and the "last one you have" bounces
toward water and away from fibreglass.

The equipment manuals

Don't forget the dinghy....spare fill valve, patch kit.......

Good luck with your new boat.
