MAINTENANCE SECTION 7
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 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.
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 equipment as
recommended in the OEM information. Make copies of the log and keep the
copy in a safe place.
