2022: 4:09 "Park your boat on a nice level surface."🤣 2019: Stumbled upon your videos a few days ago... they are excellent! I'm doing a competent crew course this fall, and am hoping to book a Day Skipper course with you in the spring...and if not that, then happy to pay for a week of sailing, while the wife vacations in Carvoeiro.
Checking the oil is the most important thing for an engine (in addition to maintaining the diesel fuel clean and free of water /algae). Check it every day before starting. If sailing hard for a long period, with waves on the stern/transom, check it before starting the engine again to make sure no water has found its way up the exhaust pipe and into the engine. Water ingress into the engine is an engine killer. Also, you need to check the oil's color for water (light brown "creamy" oil) and smell (diesel fuel) .
SOOOO GOOOD !..I have learned very much with it, improved my English (I am Spainsh) and improved my knowledge about Nautical Items..Thank you very much
@@shottyrush5403 Are you so brain dead stupid that you need me to make you a tutorial so you can understand that an engine can't be revved up if it's not running? Sure, I'll get right on that for you. You sit there and suck on your pacifier til I let you know it's done.
Thanks for the comment and for your attention to detail, you are quite right of course. Just trying to keep it simple, start mentioning heat exchangers and indirect cooling a lot of people switch off. 😀
@@Learn2Sail Thank you for your response, great videos by the way, i understand that many people need it simple and sometimes they need the information repeated.

a nice level surface..pmsl..almost as good as oil is always black
+Peter the fish Diesel oil always is black. Is it still funny?
Is that what he says...?
Engine oil should be golden..like the rays of sunshine that beam from my arse
+Peter the fish oh, another British idiot, never mind.
On a nice level surface in the marina🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's not a radiator it's a header tank, a radiator needs airflow to cool, your system is using the sea to cool therefore no need for a radiator!

@@Learn2Sail agreed. No landlubber knows wth a header tank is anyway.
