Changing Oil and Filter
Refer to the Maintenance schedule for the change interval. Engine oil should be changed
before placing the boat in storage.
IMPORTANT: Change engine oil when the engine is warm from operation. Warm oil flows
more freely, carrying away more impurities. Use only recommended engine oil (refer to
Specifications).
EASY ENGINE OIL DRAIN SYSTEM
NOTE: Boat must be out of water to perform this procedure.
1. Loosen the oil filter to vent the system.
