Lots of things to do......

When I found out my local Yamaha Dealer was very busy I decided to do the routine maintenance myself.

The oil change is easy…… easy to make a mess! But overall not bad.

I changed the plugs and hit all the grease fittings.

Today I changed out the trailer lights to LED. After one year the regular lights were a mess.

Don’t forget the grease fitting behind the prop….. also a good chance to unwind last years fishing line.

The wind was blowing today so it was easy to spend some time with the boat on land.
