Maintenance spreadsheet or software
|
I posted this on FB as well so my apologies for the duplicate post….
-- I’m looking to improve my preventative & scheduled maintenance of my on board systems on our Amel SM. Does anyone use an .XL based spreadsheet to track, plan and schedule necessary maintenance on all the different systems? I’m envisioning a multi tab spreadsheet that separates by each system(ie generator, propulsion engine, running rigging, electric furlers etc…). It would be cool if it provided auto reminders of upcoming items needing attention. I anxious to hear what others are using to try to stay ahead of scheduled preventative maintenance.

Here's the spreadsheet I used on my 1995 Amel SM. Once you set up all the parameters (e.g. engine hrs or calendar time between oil changes) it automatically tells you the next scheduled check. It worked well for me. If you have questions, call or text me at 206-375-2787. Bill Shaproski Pacific Cool SM 141

Here is an Excel maintenance log we’ve used on Aletes. The pluses and minuses used to expand and contract the individual system components.

I have used ShipShape Pro as an App on my iPad for years as my maintenance planning and recording program. There is a bit of a learning curve (unless you are a database nerd) but it's worth it. You can save maintenance schedules, things that break, tracking of costs, photos, repairs, logs of trips and fuel, etc, etc. I'd have to work REALLY cheap before it was worth my time to set up my own program to do all the things this program does...
Don't try to implement ALL of the features right at the start, but add them a bit at a time. If you are the OCD type you can use it to organize all your storage locations on the boat as well. I am not that organized! I don't know it it is available on other platforms, but it seems well suited to the iPad. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Brunswick, GA, USA
