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 maintenance,
especially on its exterior.
For instructions on when and how to maintain many of
your boat’s components, refer to the OEM information.
Maintenance activities are divided into four types:
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 onshore storage.
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.
Type C Maintenance
Perform Type C maintenance semiannually or after the
engines have operated for 100 hours, whichever comes
first.
Type D Maintenance
Perform Type D maintenance annually or after the
engines have operated for 200 hours, whichever comes
first.
Use a maintenance log to keep a record of the mainte-
nance 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
equipment as recommended in the OEM information.
Make copies of the log and keep the copy in a safe place.
