Boat DIESEL ENGINE Hacks & Oil Change [Capable Cruising]
Emily & Clark's Adventure
Hi! We are Clark and Emily, living small and intentionally together (currently aboard our 50-year-old sailboat, S/V Temptress, which we fix and maintain ourselves). This is our adventure. Here we share monthly Aventure Logs, Intentional Life Philosophy, Capable Cruising Guides to help other boaters select equipment and supplies, and regular old moments in our life (including music, laundry, and the like).

Clark gives an overview of our Yanmar 4JH5E diesel inboard engine, including its benefits, parts, and basic maintenance (including a step-by-step oil change). Clark also includes a few more diesel hacks, including an inexpensive fuel filtering system that has saved us a lot of money on fuel filters, and an after-market belt and alternator system we have added.
