Getting ahead of the boat is the key. Preventative maintenance should be just that preventative.

Being realistic about how long things last is another key. We have a few things on our boat right now but to be honest they are not a surprise, except the impeller. Mostly just deferred maintenance that we knew was coming.

Most boats are 30+ years old. It takes a lot to stay in front of that.
