Lugger oil loss (was Long Single engine operation)

BTW, Lugger recently agreed to replace the lubeoil hoses (between pump and
filter) on my 2-1/2 year old engine (3200 hours) despite the fact that I'm not
the original purchaser. The PO had one blow out and replaced it, wisely
purchasing a spare. I noticed a slow leak in the other one and found the broken
braid

I think you hold the record for that hose not leaking!
Mine started leaking at about 1400 hrs.

I provided one to a fellow Nordhavn 47 owner in the
San Blas Islands south of the Panama Canal, who
did not have a spare.

In the Nordhavn 47 owners group it seemed to me
that the mean time between leaking is about 1,800 hours.

For the NAR Lugger replaced those hoses for everyone
for free including spares (I carry 2).  Those hoses
were expensive.

The new hoses are different from the old ones and
are supposed to fix the problem.

I installed the new ones in late April so I
only have 600 hours on the new ones.
