Smile More hrs than usual this year....

Installed a new hour meter this spring. Old one had 1378 prior to changing it; 47 hours currently on the new meter this year. Chartplotter records my mileage and it is 709 nm currently for this year. That is more engine time than I normally rack up. A few times I had to motor home in driving hail, no wind on one cruise...small things like that add to the hours. To give you an idea, due to weather, I am about 600 nm short of last years mileage for this time. The hours on the engine are about the same.

Currently coming up for her 3rd oil change this year. I change it at the beginning of season, about mid June, then around mid August. Boat laid up due to steering failure a few days ago, so while I wait for parts, some preventive maintenance.
