New to me 2001 Mainship 390. Single Yanmar 6LP-STE. Freshwater only boat.
Boat has been sitting for 1.5 years in heated storage in Michigan.
All this was done November 2019:
- Engine oil and filter changed (Rotella 15/40)
- Engine fuel filter changed (Yanmar) and Racor checked and element replaced
- Kohler Gen oil and filter changed
- Kohler Gen fuel filter replaced
- Biocide added to tanks
- Stanadyne Diesel fuel additive added
-*Transmission fluid changed June of 2019 (just found this record)
Boat will be moved (3-4 day trip Great Lakes) hopefully after memorial day. I'll be there next week and would likely have time to do all fluids and filters if needed.
What should my priority be? I am interested in oil analysis testing going forward, and know that "sitting oil" can gather up stuff that may skew any testing I do.
Personally I feel like engine and gen oil are probably a must. Can I skip the filters this time? I'd never skip those normally, but they have not been used.
Thanks for your thoughts!
