In this video, we run through the routine checks that should be made on your yacht's diesel engine.

Here is a handy acronym to help you remember the key things to look at:

W.O.B.B.L.E.

W: Water filters/sea strainers, coolant water
O: Oil levels in your engine, check that it’s in the proper range
B: Belts, check for correct tension and any damage
B: Bilge condition, look for water or oil that shouldn’t be there
L: Levels (water, engine oil and gearbox)
E: Engine exhaust, check for water flow from the exhaust
