An oil change and new oil filter. One has to be very methodical to limit oil spills on board and nothing overboard. I wrap a plastic bag round the old oil filter before removing it to catch the waste oil left in the filter and have a receptical ready to drop oily stuff into.
The left hand bilge gets messy with rainwater and hydraulic oil leaks. Never could find out wherefrom. With heavy rain the drainage is insufficient for all the water draining off the back roof and it collects here. Used the oil sucker to get most of it.
Also changed the oil in the PRM gearbox. Need the oil sucker for this.
Tightened up the stern tube gland to reduce the dripping into the back bilge.
