I run the ICW and change the oil about every week too, usually a little longer, because
some runs have to be shorter than what I would like due to how the anchorages
are spaced out.
I start from the top end of MA and do 5 changes @ 2 1/2 quarts/change to get to a
stopping place in FL.
It doesn't take long at the end of the day (or drifting/sailing if I am in a wide spot),
maybe about 15 or 20 minutes from start to finish, when everything is put away
and the motor is on again. I use one of those suction/vacuum canisters so
there's no mess and while it is sucking I can be updating my records.
