Perhaps a simple question, but looking for some advice.
Have owned my 440EB with Cat3116's for the last year and a half. I am planning a month and a half cruise in Cuba and then the Bahamas and on my massive to-do list, I am addressing an engine spare parts.
On my previous boat, I easily had 100lbs of spare parts onboard (impellors, fuel and oil filters, assorted hoses, etc..) and in 15+ years, rarely used them. Primarily with my cruising area of Florida and the Bahamas.
Now with the Cuba on the cruise plan, I want to make sure I'm "heavy" on parts just in case. 10 gallons of engine oil, 5 gallons of coolant, 8x fuel filters, 8x oil filters, etc..
Willing to spend $1K, just to have a good collection onboard, just in case.
So, other owners with 3116's and a longer operating history, what would you put onboard?
Also just replaced my dead Westerbeke 7kw with a Kohler 8kw.... So have added generator parts to my list.
