Thank you for your support!
Videos like this are super helpful, espero folks like me who are new to sailing.

Great to see you back even if not sailing but fixing problem. Another easy check is the air filter.
Glad to see you back on the boat yes it's been awhile
Very nice. We appreciate you sharing. It’s a lot of work to film and edit. Thank you.
Always good seeing you guys
Glad that the fix was easy!
Thanks for the update and information! Glad to hear that things look good.
Thanks for letting us know what you found,
Good work obvious things first !
Glad to see you back. Hopefully that did the trick.
Where you been. We missed you two
Very helpful I love your how to videos.
Well done. Great video!
Nice to see you again! I very much enjoy watching your struggles and successes.
Thanks! If only I was rich and could just give somebody else a list of things to fix....
I had a similar problem on my Pearson 28-2....water in the fuel. It was my filler cap....tha plastic kind. Yours looks plastic too. On close inspection the plastic was perforated. Enjoy your videos. All the best.
Thanks I'll take a look at it.
It won't hurt the engine to run it for 5 minutes just to distribute the new oil, make sure the filter isn't leaking and see if the oil is full. When I change my oil I run my engine for 5 minutes for the reasons just mentioned. So far that doesn't appear to have harmed the engine, but it is only 36 years old (1987 Westerbeke 46).
The vent port would or could let water in
You got some old fuel or just poor quality fuel.I don’t believe water was getting past the Racor filter.I have run old diesel in a boom truck that has a 4BT Cummins and sometimes it don’t start or run as good as new diesel.If fuel is blurry and not transparent it’s usually not good to use.
As a fellow O Day 28 owner i really appreciate your maintenance and trouble shooting videos. I'm researching replacing the original prop with either a more efficient 2 blade or go with a 3 blade . Have you given any thought to changing yours
No, I haven't. I probably have too many items higher up on the to-do list than something like that. I'm not sure I would ever get past the needs and into the wants! Thanks for watching.
The Flux capacitor is broken. Go back in the future and buy that thing of ma jig.. Even if your wife said not too....🙃
It's a fallacy that you need to let a diesel engine warm up that long. I run multiple farm tractors under no load for long periods of time. Constant starting and stopping is not good for a diesel engine.
Maybe, I don't really know, but a few old sailors have said. Could it be that running an engine for a short period where it does not get fully hot can cause moisture to not burn off, especially in a marine environment where the engine sits for long periods? But people with a boat in a marina, that might visit the boat once a month or even less, and start the engine, should they run it five minutes or 30 during the check-up up visit? I don't know, but since mine had not been run for a few months, I ran it until it was fully up to temp.
