With our Ford Lehman Super 135, and our Westerbeke 5kW Generator, there are quite a few maintenance items that are required to keep our Marine Trader afloat and in good condition. Today we walk you though the reasoning and an example of what our main scheduled maintenance looks like! We focus on fuel, oil, and water as we go through a fuel filter change, oil change, and an impeller change. We wished we knew this when we first bought Pivot so we hope that you also gain some knowledge or at least help add different maintenance items to our list! Thanks for watching! Cheers from the Loop, Jennifer and Elliot #greatloop #boatlife #lehman #westerbeke 🎥 Episode 200 | Filmed on February 25, 2022 🇺🇸 America's Great Loop | Marathon, Florida _______________________ BLOG https://schoandjo.com/blog ☝️ Read more and check out behind the scenes at the blog _______________________ AMERICA'S GREAT LOOP CRUISERS ASSOCIATION Join AGLCA for information on planning and completing your Great Loop adventure.

We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive head first into boat life, and kick off America’s Great Loop. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. Thank you for following us along our journey! ________________ Note — Some of these links are affiliates. We recommend stuff we love and if you like it also they might give us a small kick back.
