Oil change, finally.


We finally got to a marina that had a mechanic who knew what he was doing and had the right equipment to change our diesel engine oil & filter – and at a reasonable price.  Still need to buy a good pump to suck out the old oil through the dipstick. [I was going to say most pumps really suck, but that would not exactly be accurate…]

Most of the Waterway is pretty isolated; figure it's like shopping or getting services in the rural Yoop (U.P.) of Michigan.  Where is there a West Marine when you really need one?  We can e-mail order stuff and have it sent ahead, but want to see what we are buying and if it will fit. (Similarly, we need a bombproof Rocna 33# anchor. Someday.)
