    Fischer Panda Oil Screen Cleaning

    My book says I need to clean the oil screen at 500 hours and I am there. Has anyone done this or had this done? Do you have to pull the unit out of the boat to do it and if so how do you go about that? Any help would be appreciated.

    F250 seems to be have a lot of play left to right.

    When I was coming in the other day, I noticed my port enginge was gyrating at speed. When I got back to the dock and looked at it, it seems there is a lot of play in the mounting bracket rod/bushing. Anybody else ever have this happen?

    I went to clean my strainer basket on my a/c unit yesterday and noticed water was flowing even though the handle on the thru hull was closed. (I double checked it was all the way closed.) Is there a packing nut or something I can tighten. It's not much water but it should be no water...

    Ring Free AND a fuel stabilizer?

    Looking for some opinions regarding fuel additives. Do I need to use anything other than ring free? If so what? As far as I know ring free does not have any stabilization properties. Thanks
