All:
I'm not a mechanic. Far from it. But I can do basic maintenance tasks, and I enjoy DIY boat projects.
I'm trying to come up with a diesel engine normal spring maintenance checklist. If I have a checklist then my competitive nature kicks in and I need to get it all done.
In case it matters, my engine is a single 185HP Perkins (M200TI).
Below is my start, but please add to the list.
