Some maintenance steps, like visual inspections, are best done every day,
while others, such as oil changes, are set up at certain intervals.
INTERVAL MAINTENANCE
Timing is everything
Yamaha provides easy-to-understand
information about how, and when, to perform
proper maintenance. Yamaha also offers
approximately 2,000 authorized Yamaha Marine
dealers from coast-to-coast, specially trained
and equipped to handle most of your outboard’s
maintenance needs. So whether you get the
parts from your Yamaha Marine dealer and
do it yourself or have them do the work for
you, you’ll rest assured knowing you’re doing
your part to help protect and preserve your
Yamaha outboard.
Getting started.
The most accurate and specific maintenance
interval information for your particular
outboard will be found in your owner’s manual
(YamahaOutboards.com/OwnersManuals).
We’ve also included a basic chart (at left)
to help give you an overview of what needs
doing, and when (indicated by yellow boxes).
To determine when service is due, keep your
eye on your hour meter. If you don’t have an
hour meter, it’s easy and inexpensive to install
one. Or, many Yamaha gauges already have
this functionality built in, allowing you to set
reminders at various intervals, and helping to
keep you on schedule. You can also utilize the
Yamaha Outboards Mobile App on your
smartphone.
