RE: Trawlers 101 - Part II

Since we all agree on all those points, tell me, what color is the sky?

I just have to laugh when someone argues that two engines don't have twice the maintenance. If you run one engine 1000 hours doesn't it need the same maintenance as the twin that is running right beside it. How could it be different? If I change my single engines belts and hoses at 5 year intervals, does that change to 10 years if I have twins? If I change oil at 100 hours with a single do I go to 200 hours because I have twins? Engine maintenance is engine maintenance, single or twin it's normall based on hours run or years in service, I've never heard of maintenance based on having a twin sitting next to it.
