We have nice fall weather for a few days here in late October. The boat and crew are headed south on the ICW to Florida beginning early November. The weather was perfect for annual and pre-trip maintenance.
Yesterday was oil change day. The Cummins main engine and the Onan Generator got new oil and filters. The day started with a short trip over to Annapolis to fuel up for the trip and make sure the engine and generator were warm for the following oil change.
The work itself took about two hours, with moire than a few "yoga like" moves in the engine room. The oil change pump is clearly the real champ in any oil change.
The transmission is on a 500 hour cycle so I will wait on that oil change. Today I will change the fuel filters and impellers. Once done a short trip back into the Bay will assure me all is ready for the 1200 miles to come.
