I would argue that if you change the oil at end of season, changing it
again in the spring is a total waste.


That makes sense. There's going to be less condensation in an engine
than a tank (and I'm already on the record about that). Any moisture is
going to be pure distilled water so not acidic.

OK back to once a year.

Except the "end of the season" doesn't imply the end to sailing. It's just
fewer sails per month. --


You are in San Diego, right? Some of us sail where the sea sometimes freezes
so 'end of season' can often be stretched to say, mid November, but after
that all bets are off.
