Well, I do understand that preventative maintenance can only go so far. Currently, my sailboat has a Vetus Diesel and I have sourced parts from far and wide (mostly Netherlands) to repair issues, mostly minor. I did rebuild the top end of a Buick V6 in my Jeep CJ5 back in the day! Even the carb.... So I guess I can be as mechanically inclined as necessary. Having owned a classic sailboat for 8 years, I find that I spend very little time not doing boat related stuff. On a power boat, I'll probably end up doing the same, only with the systems instead of, say, making eye splices for halyards or binding shackles, etc.
