Turbulent Waters: Outboard Maintenance & Dinghy Bottom Cleaning | SV Ramble On

Join us in this video as we perform a complete tune-up on our trusty 1997 Honda 9.9 outboard motor. We change the engine oil, gear oil, fuel filter, and spark plugs, ensuring peak performance for our dinghy's powerhouse. And we do it all from the back rail of our cockpit.

But that's not all! We didn't stop at the motor—next, we tackle the unsightly buildup of algae and bryozoans on the bottom of our Achillies dinghy. Watch as we clean the bottoms to optimize its performance on the water.

Don't miss out on the action—hit the play button now and get ready to dive into some hands-on outboard motor maintenance!

———————————————————————————————————

We’re Jeni and Rich. We’re really just a couple of average Joes. In a nutshell we met and married in our early 20s; I graduated from college in my late 20s; adopted two cats and a dog in the late 90s; sold a house and bought a new house in our mid 30s; then sold the new house and moved onto a sailboat in our early 40s. In between all that we had a bunch of fun like camping, scuba diving, watching hockey games (Go Red Wings!), concerts, traveling, spear fishing, restoring a 1963 Chevy II Nova; spending time with family and friends. A few years ago we decided to lay off all the fun-having to fix up this old boat. We figure if we put our noses to the grindstone for a few years, we’ll be able to travel for a few years and do all the fun things we’ve missed.
