Boat Work in Paradise: Changing Fuel Filters
Just another day in paradise... I mean in the engine cave! In this episode of Sailing With Phoenix, I tackle a long-overdue job: replacing my diesel engine’s fuel filters aboard my sailboat in Hawai'i. It's sweaty, messy, and slightly chaotic, but that’s boat life right?
I share thoughts on some lingering fears, maintenance procrastination, and what it's like living afloat, plus I finally (maybe?) solve my engine’s slow-start issue.
🙏 Thanks for being here. Your support makes this all possible. More Hawai'i sailing adventures coming soon!
