7.0 Maintenance
7.1 Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance activities and their intervals listed on the following
pages are provided as guidelines only. The ideal maintenance activities
and maintenance schedule depend on the components installed in your
boat and the manner and environment in which you use your boat. The
more frequently you use your boat, the more often maintenance needs to
be performed. If you use your boat in salt water, it requires more mainte-
nance, especially on its exterior.
For instructions on when and how to maintain many of your boat’s com-
ponents, refer to the OEM information.
Maintenance activities are divided into four types:
7.1.1 Type A Maintenance
Perform Type A maintenance 48 hours after the first launching of your
boat, and 48 hours after launching your boat following a period of on-
shore storage.
7.1.2 Type B Maintenance
Perform Type B maintenance after the engines have operated for 25
hours following launching, whether your boat is new or coming out of
onshore storage.
7.1.3 Type C Maintenance
Perform Type C maintenance semiannually or after the engines have
operated for 100 hours, whichever comes first.
7.1.4 Type D Maintenance
Perform Type D maintenance annually or after the engines have oper-
ated for 200 hours, whichever comes first.
7.1.5 Maintenance Log
Use a maintenance log to keep a record of the maintenance activities you
perform on your boat. The log should list both the activities described in
the following charts and the maintenance activities for the OEM equip-
ment as recommended in the OEM information. Make copies of the log
and keep the copy in a safe place.
