We have lost at least 1 knot of speed in the recent weeks and since we have a big Atlantic crossing coming up it was time to service our engine. I have little scare when I think the engine is about to blow up!

I've been following you guys on the tracker across the Atlantic. Almost to the Caribbean!!! Way to go guys! Is this your biggest passage yet? Hope it went smoothly.
We have indeed made it :) it was our longest crossing yet, 14 days exact!

First, start the engine for about fifteen minutes to warm it up. The hot oil will be easyer to extract.
When putting on the new filter, put some oil on the rubber gasket. It will prevent the gasket to stick on the metal when the engine is hot.
When the gasket make contact and you sense a little resistance, you turn the filter 1/4 to 1/2 turn more and voilà ! If you put to much pressure, it will be very hard to unscrew the next time you try to get it out.
Fair winds !

If you put a plastic bag around your oil filter before removing it it will prevent an oil disaster.
