Your engine needs to breathe too.
These two air filters tell quite a story,
The one on top? Fresh and ready to do its job,
The one underneath? Itβs been working hard in an enclosed engine bay.
Air filters are easy to overlook during boat maintenance, its either tucked away out of sight or doesnt look dirty, but a restricted filter can reduce airflow to your engine and affect performance and reduce fuel efficiency (which is important at the moment).
When we service an engine, the air intake and filter are always worth checking - not just the obvious things like oil and fuel filters.
A few minutes checking your engine's ability to breathe could save you from bigger problems down the track.
