Alera is my second C&C, but my first diesel. My prior 35MK 1 had an Atomic4.
I have been checking oil on my Yanmar about as often as I did on the A4, like once a season. Last summer I learned the error of my ways. But I over compensated for the low oil level and overfilled the engine. Our engine only had 489 hours and was in excellent condition. I just changed the oil today, but before that we did a sail. I notice at at cripuising RPS she was smoking pretty bad. Is this from overfilling or you you all think I did some real damage? Minor error or major disaster...
