New Fantasis 27 Owner

[ourabmen]

Hello all, just purchased a Fantasia 27!  This is my first diesel powered vessel. Would love to hear about any tips and tricks from other owners about engine care, and general sailing tips with regard to sail trim and running rigging mods or additions.

Thanks in advance,

RB

Congratulations on the new boat and welcome. My first keelboat had an old Yanmar 1GM10 engine. The main problems I had were related to corroding wires affecting starting. Diesel engines are very happy with clean fuel and air and a clean exhaust elbow.
