Changing Oil and Filter
See the Maintenance Schedule for the change interval. You should change the engine oil before placing the boat in storage.
IMPORTANT: Change the engine oil when the engine is warm from operation. Warm oil flows more freely, carrying away more
impurities. Use only recommended engine oil. See Specifications.
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. Stop the engine and allow some time for the oil to drain into the oil pan (approximately five minutes).
3. Remove the fitting from the end of crankcase oil drain hose.
4. Install the crankcase oil pump (order separately) onto the threaded fitting of the oil drain hose.

securely.

to loosen the oil filter top piece.
