Motorboat Newbie's Change Of Direction

[Piers]

Ain't broke don't fix it ! Filters clean ? Leave well alone.

Now that's what I was told when I bought my Cougar Predator 35 many years ago. All was fine until I was in some heavy chop for two hours. Guess what? Dead diesel bug which had laid dormant on the base of the tanks was stirred up, revs dropped, engines hunted, and it was all we do to limp back to Hamble Point. Filters were black, pipes needed cleaning. What a pain. So never again will I leave tanks alone.
