You must strictly follow the 3 year servicing intervals as specified by Seago yachting.
Note: if you are sailing outside of UK controlled waters you should check with the appropriate authorities to
ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.
It is possible that more frequent servicing is required by some countries and authorities.
The manufacturers (Seago yachting) requirements for servicing do not override the need for compliance with
local laws and regulations outside of UK waters.
