Akimbo winterization

Trip dates: 
Friday, November 22, 2024
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

Assisted with changing the oil, oil filter, and impeller. Checked bilge, added a little antifreeze, and also to the black tank. Cleaned the raw water strainer while doing the impeller. (Well Tom did and I encouraged lol) also double checked the belts and other filters for the rest of the engine stuff. One part was wrong but we should be good on everything else I think. Not sure about the second oil cap though. I think it's gear grease and not connected to the other cap where we topped the regular oil up after draining it from the dipstick chute. Spent 4+ hrs, need to add up the volunteer hrs soon. Whoops.

It was snowing/sleeting when we finished so no actual sailing. :-( Will test it out tomorrow hopefully though.
