Ten things diesel mechanics think every boatowner should know ~
Diesel mechanics is not a difficult subject. In fact, all owners of
diesel-powered boats can-and should-learn the fundamentals of operating
and maintaining their engines. To run well, a diesel engine requires
clean fuel, clean oil, and a lot of air. Routine maintenance will
virtually guarantee years of trouble-free service and will keep your
busy mechanic at bay.

several weeks
or months while it is being repaired. The best defense against a
dockside
sinking? . . .

Tayana Vancouver 42 cutter had been purchased
sight unseen by a young family from Alaska. Their deal was still subject
to sea trials, not by them but by me.
