Boat Maintenance MISTAKES: What NOT to Do! 

I would add to run those diesels under load, not just idle. In the fire service, our diesel engines have a ton of idle time and that increases maintenance issues. Totally agree, run those engines persistently.

Those sound like mistakes that so many folks do. Thanks for the information.

We decided to follow our dreams after watching your videos. I grew up in San Diego, then moved away & missed it every since. We still live in AZ, but we bought a 52' Camargue in San Fran & brought it to Pier 32. We are hoping to move it closer to downtown at some point. Thanks for posting your videos!!! Sheryl & Dennis

Great tips, thanks. For removing rust cheaper than buying the remover; Bye Oxalic Acid powder usually Amazon for $15.00. 1 tablespoon to 1 gallon of warm water to help dissolve and spray on the rust or mustache of your bow/hull.

SAE 30 oil in fuel injector pump, change every time you change oil........

Simple Green in a 2-1 to 5-1 mixture and a stiff nylon brush is all you need for your boat. It even dissolves spider crap without hurting any surfaces. Buy it by the gallon.

Hey there y’all! Thanks captain Tom. Don’t forget the ice scoop 😂❤

Good job on the solo video Tom!!!! Although, I am sure you were in the background somewhere Andrea....

Thanks for the tips, Captain! Love your videos. As usual, watching from Queensland, Australia. :)
