Maintenance Schedules
Application
The following schedules apply to the Zeus drive and driveshaft connection, not to the Cummins engine. For the engine maintenance
schedule and procedures, refer to the Marine Recreational High Output Propulsion Units QSB, QSC, or QSM Operation and
Maintenance Manual available from the manufacturer of the engine.
NOTE: In the maintenance lists, the word check means to visually inspect and then accordingly, correct, replace, or repair the
task item.
Routine Maintenance
Task Interval Maintenance to be Performed
Each day start and when
refueling
• Check the steering actuator and trim tab oil (fluid) level.
• Check the gear lube level in the gear lube monitor.
• Check the transmission oil (fluid) level.
Every two months of operation
• Check the battery connections and fluid level.
• Treat the power package components inside the boat with Corrosion Guard to protect the
product from corrosion.
• Ensure that the gauges and the wiring connections are secure. Clean the gauges (every
two months or every 50 hours, whichever occurs first. If operating in saltwater, the interval
is reduced to every 25 hours or 30 days, whichever occurs first).
• With all ERC handles in neutral and engines at idle, check the operation of the E‑stop switch
at each station.
Scheduled Maintenance
IMPORTANT: The drive gear case and gear lube monitor in the vessel have been filled with break‑in gear lube. Break‑in gear
lube must be changed after 25 hours and not to exceed 30 hours of operation to prevent premature gear wear. The color of break‑in
gear lube is brown.
Drain the drive and gear lube monitor of the break‑in gear lube and fill with the specified gear lubricant. Refer to Drive Gear Lube.
