Winterizing Your Boat – Oil Change 101

DIY Oil Change

Winterizing your boat in the fall is important and may be a daunting task for some boat owners.  This is a DIY project that you CAN do on your own though.  Rob MacLeod, The Informed Boater, has put together a how to video with simple step-by-step instructions for completing an oil change, which is a good idea at the end of the season as part of the winterizing process. Have a look and see if Rob’s instruction doesn’t inspire your confidence to give this process a try.  We’d love to hear what you think of the video and how your oil change turned out.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
