Qué cubre este vídeo

Pablo Berrus performs a full engine service on his sailboat during preparations for a round-the-world voyage. He extracts old engine oil using a small hand pump inserted through the dipstick tube, draining into a plastic bottle — a technique suited to boats without a drain plug.Watch The oil filter, last replaced in July 2023, is swapped out along with both fuel filters: a pre-filter mounted before the engine and a secondary filter on the engine itself.Watch He then replaces the alternator belt, loosening the alternator via two bolts to release tension before fitting the new belt.0:50 Finally, he replaces the impeller in the raw-water pump, which draws seawater from outside the hull to cool the engine.1:20 The service covers five components in a single session: engine oil, oil filter, dual fuel filters, alternator belt, and raw-water pump impeller.
