Spring cleanup and pending projects

My only task this weekend (since I only had one day)  was to power wash, fill tanks, check general condition of boat and run the engine.  The boat was very dirty but cleaned up nicely with my power washer.

 The boat was very dirty but looks good now.  The wood still had varnish but winter is very hard on it.  Multiple coats but, still still lifting in some places.  Oh well....  That can wait.

Checked engine oil and coolant.  Engine oil was over full from my known diesel leak.  Started engine and it started pretty good.  Ran to bring it up to temperature.  Oil pressure looked a little low but was OK.  Shut engine down and looked at oil again.  It had that milky look which means it had moisture in it.  OK, it now means I am going to have injection pump rebuilt as well as injectors.  Also, going to pull the head and have it checked and replace the head gasket.  Man these Delaware winters are hard on the boat and it was not even that cold this year.   Bye $$$$$$$
