Task Interval Maintenance to Be Performed
Each day start
• Check the engine oil level. (You can extend this interval based on experience
with the product.)
• Check the sterndrive gear lube level.
• Check the trim pump oil level.
• Check the power‑assisted steering pump or the compact hydraulic steering
fluid level, depending on the steering system of your model.
Each day end
• If operating in saltwater, brackish water, or polluted water, flush the seawater
section of the cooling system after each use.
Weekly
• Check the water inlets for debris or marine growth.
• Check and clean the seawater strainer, if equipped.
• Check the coolant level.
• Inspect the sterndrive anodes and replace if 50% eroded.
Every two months or 50
hours
• Lubricate the propeller shaft and retorque the nut. (If operating only in
freshwater, you can extend the interval to every four months.)
• If operating in saltwater, brackish water, or polluted water, apply Corrosion
Guard to the power package.
• Check the battery connections and the fluid level.
• Ensure that the gauges and the wiring connections are secure. Clean the
gauges. (If operating in saltwater, reduce this interval to every 25 hours or
30 days, whichever occurs first.)
