Maintenance Schedules—3.0 TKS
Routine Maintenance
NOTE: Only perform maintenance that applies to your particular power package.
New sterndrive installations may require as much as 470 mL (16 fl oz) of gear lube added to the monitor bottle during the
break‑in period (20 hours of running time). It is important to monitor and maintain the gear lube level during the break‑in period.
During the initial drive installation, air may be trapped in the top of the driveshaft housing. This void is filled from the gear lube
monitor during the sterndrive break‑in period. As the air is purged from the sterndrive through the monitor bottle, the lube level
in the bottle will drop.
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.
