BV 15: Maintenance in Marsh Harbour
Have any of you ever wondered this? "How do they change their oil when they're sailing around the world?" I'll be honest, when we were first boat-shopping, I wasn't even entirely aware the boat had an engine, much less one that had oil that needed changing, or that we (Phillip and I) would be the folks to do it. I was so clueless in the beginning! I put together a detailed, informative video for you all here from our "Maintenance in Marsh Harbour" post (blog link here -- https://havewindwilltravel.com/2018/06/10/bv15-maintenance-in-marsh-harbour-how-we-change-the-oil-on-the-boat/) and some photos there showing you how we change the oil on our boat, as well as the primary fuel filter and zinc. I also included one way, in particular, how NOT to do change the oil on a boat. You're welcome! Watch and learn and we'll hope an oil spill on board never happens to you. "Better get some towels," the captain said. *gulp* Enjoy the boat project video. We've got a ton of posts and write-ups on Facebook and the HaveWind blog right now covering our summer projects in the shipyard. Think rudder reinforcement and removing and realigning the quadrant. If you're a boat project junkie, go check out the goods!
