Engines get serviced

Today the Suzuki engines go in for a service. Now I know I am getting close to departure!

The boat is being put onto a trailer and taken by road to Outboard Services and Marine in Lostwithiel. I can’t deny the fact that I am a little apprehensive about the boat being moved by road… it is not without the risk that it might get damaged and that may delay the start significanly. However, it has to be done and so I shall just hold my breath until it is back on its dry berth stand tomorrow.

The Suzuki DF115 is getting it’s second service today after about 120 hours of faultless running. The DF6 is getting its first after about 10 hours after proving that it is more than capable to push my boat at 4-5 kts.

Let’s hope that it returns tomorrow unscathed.
