• Check the battery connections and fluid level.
• Lubricate the propeller shaft and tighten the propeller nut to the specified torque. If operating
in only freshwater, this maintenance may be extended to every four months.
• Treat the engine surfaces with Corrosion Guard if operating in saltwater, brackish, or polluted
waters.
• Inspect the air filter every two months or every 50 hours, whichever occurs first.
• Inspect the engine anodes and replace if 50% or more eroded.
• Ensure that the gauges and the wiring connections are secure. Clean the gauges every two
months or every 50 hours, whichever occurs first. If operating in saltwater, the interval is
reduced to every 25 hours or 30 days whichever occurs first.

pressure cap. Check the anodes and replace if eroded by 50% or more.
• Check the closed‑cooling fluid level and level of protection.
• Clean the seawater strainer.
• Check the run history for faults.
• Check the engine timing belt.
Every 2 years • Replace the engine coolant.
Every 700 hours or 3
years (whichever occurs
first)
• Replace the power‑assisted steering pump drive belt.
