Why on earth would you wait 3 years to change a filter? I guess youre more willing to HAVE to to ........ merely flip a couple of levers, engaging the second filter, allowing us to make that filter change at our leisure rather than under way........ But what happens if your underway some dark and stormy night when your motor takes a **** and youre scrambling to merely flip a switch as you are now beam to a Red Clowd sea? Pennigton Rexroth I think skip should nip into his dinghy and check to see if his waterline is still visible. Dennis. Heh. Unfortunately, it is. There's one small section of the grass which grew at the waterline in Lake Worth, just prior to our crossing, that I didn't get to while we were there, Lydia blocking it with the dink while she was scrubbing the topsides. As to Boob, if I've got polished fuel, I don't need to change filters just for the sake of changing them. As to rocking and rolling changes, that's what most folks have to go through. I just reach up and move the levers (I don't have one of the fancy manifolds that Racor sells as a dual unit) and hit the starter button. Then, on a nice peaceful day, at my leisure, I changed it out. A non-event. However, stay tuned for the passage report, where I discovered something else fuel related...
