SDA71 Tight Spaces and Volvo Engines
January 19, 2023 by Sailing Dark Angel | Language: EN Play Time: 00:18:39 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, Dockmaster Keith helps us trade slips with Seawind 1260 ‘Butters’ in a very tight slip. Keith’s instructions and help make it much easier than we anticipated.
Afterward it’s time to service our Volvo MD2030 29hp, 3cylinder diesel engines… except the oil change. We don’t have a container for the used oil
Ordering parts for old engines can be dicey. The belts and the oil filters are different sizes from what we had before, but they just might be an improvement!

Sailing Dark Angel
We're Lisa & Dave. We love to travel anywhere warm and friendly, to explore, meet new people, see new places, and share what we see. Sailing Dark Angel is our unscripted tale of learning a whole new life. Freedom and adventure on the water, living an alternative lifestyle. We decided our YouTube channel would reflect the new experiences and discoveries we make. We don't have a ton of experience for 'how-to' videos and the only advice we offer is to get out and live life. Don't wait for it to come to you. We hope to inspire people the way we've been inspired. Join us aboard Dark Angel, our beautiful 2006 Island Spirit Fortuna 401 catamaran. Share our dreams and adventures with us
