Inevitably!
Usually it is a side mounted oil filter that gets me. I use a baggie but it isn't a perfect solution...

That is one thing that you will love, not having to change a horizontally mounted oil filter that is in a hard to reach, awkward position.
My sailboat has a 56hp diesel with relatively easy access for a sailboat. It is so much easier and faster to change the oil and filters on my 380hp Cummins!

Wash your dog or car but not your boat engine.

Engine cleanup
Bruce I commend your efforts and success in cleaning the exterior of your engine and room! But what about the interior do you fresh water wash the exhaust system? Do you use some kind of injector cleaner? ETC

Bruce - So SHINEY...
Had to put sunglasses on!!
Boats and girlfriends have similarities... i.e., we like to spend time shining both when new!
After that we just help em stay fairly clean... making sure both they and we can function well together - lol.

I am not an additive kind of guy typically. I did use a biocide on the sailboat. Not sure if I will on this boat or not.
I will perform the service suggested by Seaboard Marine on my aftercooler next as it makes perfect sense but while we are using the boat, no fresh water flush.
I certainly will flush if the boat is going to sit though.
