Hi Steve,
Thanks so much for your reply. As many boat owners my Vega remote from my
computer. Having read both the MD6a manual and the Vega handbook the image
of the male filter was burned into my mind. I was so certain that the
original type filter was on the boat that I questioned the previous owners
commitment to maintenance.... sadness and disappointment for me, also
complications.
I returned to the boat this week-end contemplating what my options were on
the oil filter question. I decided I would have to have the filter in hand
before choosing the right course of action. When I removed the cockpit floor
I was both surprised and relieved to discover a white female Volvo oil
filter where I has assumed the green male would be! Such are the mischievios
games my has play with me for decades. I commend you for your work with the
British Vega Group.
I assume that your wife was here (Montreal) recently. If the weather was
anything like it is in the UK I must apologise. July is usually the hottest
month here..... She should have enjoyed (endured?) the tropical heat and
humidity that are usual for this period. This year other that the absence of
British citizens she might have thought that she was still in the UK. ( and
it is said the weather and cuisine are the pillars of culture, a stomache
full of good food and wine; a clear blue sky and a warm wind blowing in off
the Adriatic. That is the stuff of poetry and music. Or, a warm fire and a
full mug at the local pub...... oh well )
Best Regards
Antonio
