Maintenance Schedule
If you operate your engine 50 hours or less per year perform the items required in the Maintenance Schedule
once per year. If you operate your engine more than 50 hours per year, the required items should be performed
every 100 hours.
NOTICE! For engines operated over 50 hours during the first year, the engine oil and filter must be changed at
50 hours. The oil and filter are changed again at 100 hours and then afterwards according to the Maintenance
Schedule.
If the boat is placed in storage during the off-season (winterized), the service should be coordinated with the
service activities needed to prepare the boat for storage or for use after the storage period. See the chapter
entitled Storage. Change the engine oil, filter, and drive oil as part of preparation for storage (winterization). The
impeller should be replaced after storage.
