Scheduled Maintenance
We recommend you contact an authorized Volvo Penta service dealer when your power package is due for
scheduled maintenance. Procedures in the maintenance schedules may require lifting devices, special tools,
electronic diagnostic instruments, or specialized training that are not typically available to the owner. Dealers
have the training, tools, and service expertise needed to safely, correctly, and efficiently service your power
package. Also, dealers are familiar with current environmental regulations and will recycle or dispose of used
fluids and materials in a manner that is least harmful to the environment.
During the service visits, discuss with your dealer any questions or issues that you may have regarding your
engine or power package. Advise the dealer of anything unusual that you have noticed about your boat or engine.
This check can identify small problems before they become more serious. The dealer will use the following
checklists to perform the scheduled maintenance. Many items on the list are also included in the daily and monthly
checks to be done by the owner (see above). The dealer will conduct a more thorough check of these items to
deter future problems.
If any items fail the checks, the dealer should correct them as needed. Scheduled maintenance and any corrective
work performed are part of normal maintenance and, as such, are not part of warranty. Exceptions may occur,
based on what the dealer finds during the service work.
Always insist that your dealer use genuine Volvo Penta parts, oils, and lubricants when servicing your engine.

In markets outside the United States: All service specified by the maintenance schedules for the first year
must be performed and documented by an authorized Volvo Penta dealer to be eligible for the Extended Pro-
tection Service Plan.
Hour Meter
Accurate knowledge of engine operating hours is critical for tracking engine/drive maintenance and service needs.
Many boats have an hour meter mounted at the helm or near the engine; use this meter to determine when
maintenance or service is due. If you do not have an hour meter, we strongly recommend that you contact a
dealer to have one installed on your boat. If you do not have an hour meter, keep a manual log of the time the
engine is operated.
Whenever "hours" or "engine hours" are listed in the following maintenance schedules, the reference is to engine
operating hours, as recorded by the hour meter, EVC system (if applicable), or manual log.
