Most boats prepare in the yard before the opener. Change engine and gear oil, service hydraulic filters, and sample oil while there is time to act on results.
Remote fishing grounds
Carry spare filters and enough oil for an oil change at sea or in a remote port. Water in hydraulic oil is a common cause of failures; drain and sample.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Main and auxiliary engines
Main engines and auxiliaries follow their makers’ oil category and viscosity.
