motor oil and waste haulers provide curb-
side used motor oil collection. Do not com-

The oil filter is a disposable spin-on type. An oil filter
wrench can be used to remove the filter, but do not use itto
install the new filter. Overtighteningthe filter may cause it
to leak.
The
installed angle
of
the engine affects oil lcvcl in the
crankcase. To assure that the oil is drained and replaced
properly, perform the following procedure with the
boat
at
rest in the water.
1. Start the engine and
wann
it to normal operating tem-
perature under load, then shut
it off.
2. Remove the dipstick
and
wipe it clean with a lint-free
cloth or paper towel.
3. Insert
the oil drain
pump
hose into the dipstick tube as
far as it
wiIIgo.
4. Insert the other pump
hose into a sealable container
large enough to hold the oil from the crankcase. Refer to
T
ab
le 3 to determinethe capacity
of
the engine crankcase.
5. Operate the pump until it has removed all
of
the oil
possible from the crankcase. Remove the pump hose from
the dipstick tube.
6. Place a drain pan
or
other
suitable container under the
filter (Fig
ur
e 5) to catch any oil spillage when the filter is
removed.
7. Unscrew the filter counterclockwise. Use the filter
wrench if the filter is tight.
8. Wipe the gasket surface on the engine block clean with
a paper towel.
9.
Coat
the neoprene gasket on the
new
filter with a thin
coat
of
clean engine oii.
10. Screw the
new
filter onto the engine by hand until the
gasket
just
touches the engine block. At this point, there
will be a very slight resistance when turning the filter.
I I. Tighten the filter another 2/3
tum
by hand. Using a
filter wrench can lead to overtightening the filter. This can
damage the filter or
cause
an oil leak .
12. Remove the oil filler cap or plug from the rocker
arm
cover. See Figure 2 (single cylinder models) or Fig
ure
3
(mult
icylinder models).
13. Reinstall the dipstick in the dipstick tube .
14. Refer to
Table
3 to determine the crankcase capacity
of
the engine.
Pour
the specified amount
of
oil into the
rocker am
cover
opening and install the oil filler cap or
plug. Wipe up any spills on the
cover
.
CHAPTER
THREE
NOTE
Check the area under and around the
oiljil
-
ter
for
leaks while the engine is running in
Step /5.
IS. Start the engine and let it idle for five minutes, then
shut
off
the engine.
16. Wait approximately five minutes, then remove the
dipstick. Wipe the dipstick clean with a lint-free cloth or
paper towel and reinsert it in the dipstick tube. Remove
the dipstick a second time and check the oil
level.
Add
oil,
if
necessary, to bring the level up to the full mark, but do
net overfill.
Fuel System Serv ice
Diesel fuel injection systems require clean fuel that
meets the
fuel requirements specified by the engine manu-
facturer. Due to the close tolerances required in the fuel
injection system, diesel engines are particularly suscepti-
ble to dirt or
other
contaminants in the fuel. Use only clean
