I might be able to pull off a short story or two but I'm not sure I have the

Why do you need to keep the engine running offshore while you change the
filter?
You may not be offshore, you may be in a tight spot where you really need it.
My reference to prepping for a long offshore voyage had more to do with being
far away from a source of additional filters and other
About a year before I ever sailed offshore I remember reading the Carib 1500's
list of recommended gear. I think they suggested something like 2 dozen
filters. I laughed and left for Bermuda with 6. After a week of attempting to
clean and recycle Racors the first thing I did upon arriving in

You need to write a book about your sailing career. Most of it seems to involve
“incidents and perilous situations. Nonetheless, all great stories!
On a more serious note, have you considered posting pictures of the Great Deck

Typically I change Calypso’s diesel fuel filters annually or after +-100 hours.
If I am setting out on a longer cruise and expecting to putting a lot of hours
on the auxiliary engine I will change the filters before leaving Seattle and
carry 2 filter changes with me.

Listers,
For those of you in the Northeast like me, we see tons of CCs around who are
owned by people not on the list. They are, without a doubt, missing out on the
best part of owning a CC!

Re MAX Prop screws: The screws are a special metric size so ordered new

more sense since I could put a drop of Locktite on them - problem of lost

Last year after we changed both fuel filters and then cleaned out the tank on
the 29-2. On the weekend it appears that the filters need to be changed again.
Is this normal? We have been putting in the usual additives. What is working
with your fuel
Often the additives will clean the gunk off the sides of the tank. For that
reason I never use any diesel additives.

I go longer than a year between fuel filter changes, and have never cleaned
out my tank. I do use Soltron additive when I remember (that nasty age thing).
I am thinking that is still nasties floating around in your tank. Do you see
any contamination in your filter bowl?

I never use additives. I have an Algae-X.

Some claim they're a hoax but so far I have over 1200 hours and no issues.
I also have a vacuum gauge on my Racor 500MA primary fuel filter. I don't
change elements until the gauge
I usually change both Racir and Yanmar fuel filters annually. The one year I

Agreed, and it wouldn’t be the first time the staff of Fisheries Supply in
Seattle would find an unconscious boat owner on the floor.
When looking at adding the twin filter manifold to Calypso I was planning on
building my own manifold.
