Lady K built and launched Vesselbook, a free digital maintenance logbook at vesselbook.com, after recognizing she could not reliably answer basic questions about her own boat's service history — the age of her anchor swivel, the hours on her raw water impeller, the last transmission oil change on her sail drive, or when her flares expire.0:11 The core problem she identifies: boats accumulate engine hours, installation dates, service intervals, part numbers, warranties, and expiry dates faster than any owner can track in memory, and that gap causes expensive mistakes — a failed impeller overheats an engine, a forgotten hose floods a boat, missing records force early part replacement, and mechanics charge extra for diagnostics without history.1:26 At resale, undocumented maintenance forces buyers to discount the boat because honesty and evidence are not the same thing.2:27 Vesselbook lets owners log each job with date, engine hours, cost, photos, and receipts; attach manuals, surveys, and insurance documents; and set email reminders for time- or interval-based tasks.4:41 The record travels with the boat through ownership changes.6:24 She recommends starting with three items — last oil change, battery installation date, and flare expiry — then adding maintenance as it happens.7:00
