'If you have not done so, now is a good time to change the engine oil and filter'

摘要

The days are getting longer and spring cruising is around the corner, so it's time to use the extra daylight to give the boat a good once-over.rnIf you have not already done so, now is a good time to change the engine oil and filter. It would also be a good idea to change the gearbox oil, especially if it has a creamy tinge to it from water in the 'box.rnIf you know how to bleed the fuel system, change the filters and clean any water traps. Take time to inspect what they have caught. Any signs of discoloration of the fuel or jelly-like substances indicate fuel bug so at the least use a biocide additive in the tank.
