Close, Rick. Really close.
I looked at the data from my Suburban. 150,750 miles and 4494 engine
hours. That's 33.5 mph average.
As for Touche', I figure <5.5 nm/engine hour. Just a guess.

Once again, this list is going to cost me more $$ as I find out about more
cool hi-tech gadgets on this list. Fortunately , I was able to walk away

Well, after a few years of wishing I had a boat again, I am back on the

I am so excited I am making puddles under my chair.
A few days ago I purchased Alethea, a C&C 43-1!
Whew. long dry spell.

Something to ponder:
The Ford Lehman diesels used in many trawlers last 10-20 thousand hours in
commercial service. There are plenty of trawlers for sale with engines having
been replaced at half or a quarter of that number. Just sitting is not good for
engines.

Hi JP,
Yes, welcome back, and congratulations on your fine taste. ;-)
The first C&C 43 was *Arieto*, commissioned by Mason Pearsall in 1970. She
did very well in the 1971 SORC, and was later owned by Albert Schofield who
raced her in the 1972 SORC. *Alethea* was a slightly later model with a

I put between 100 and 150 hours on our engine each year. But this year has
been almost 0. However, I do go down and at least once a month decompress
and run the starter until the low oil pressure alarm clears. This works

Regarding sitting - after winterizing the engine will sit until spring. I doubt
that is really such a big deal although yes these things don’t like to sit.
The boat sat for 2 years before we bought it and the engine has run well
without issues or leaky seals or anything since (had to replace a

Theoretically, the engine oils don't last much beyond half a year (the
impurities and combustion residues make them acidic over time).
We use about 10-15 h/year. I don't change the filter every year, but I do
change the oil. My Perkins uses 2.2 l (about 2.5 quarts), so not that much. I

Tom,
You shouldn't feel ashamed. The problem with oil analysis is that you get
out of the habit of changing the oil once a year and then you can't
remember when the last I you did it. I was just joking with Len that I
can't remember the last time I changed my oil! From the analysis it was at

On a light year like this, (less than 15 hrs) I will pass on an oil change
until next fall. I wonder if pool test strips would work to give you an
indication of acidity – if I saw something, say, under 6? It might change my
mind, but my oil still looks as clear as when I put it in last fall, w

Ensure your engine is a Volkswagen Pathfinder marine diesel 50 hp and if
the engine has a 'timing belt'.some VW diesels have a timing belt
and when it breaks, so does the engine.

Did you get a test pump? You'll want one.
