Subject: Re: TWL: Nordhavn around the world/Synthetic oil and by-pass filters

One other pro I would add for the bypass filter and lessened oil change is
oil disposal. Nordhavn reports that they have 12 gallons of used oil and
were not able to dispose of oil in previous ports. When cruising remote
areas oil disposal is a major problem.
Another pro, is that voyaging trawler owners seem reluctant to shut their
engines down on a passage (I do not understand that reluctance, but it has
been expressed on the list).
Captain Will described a relitatively inexpensive portiable oil analyzer.
This would seem appropiate.
