INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Routine inspection and maintenance is necessary for all mechanized products. Periodic maintenance
contributes to the product’s life span. The following chart provides guidelines for outboard inspection and
maintenance to be performed by an authorized Dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Outboards used for rental operations, commercial applications, or other high hour use
applications require more frequent inspections and maintenance. Inspection and maintenance should be
adjusted according to operating conditions and use; and environmental conditions.
