It all depends which boat/engine you are running and how many hours you put on a season. Bare minimum involves an oil change per season. Sometimes I get up to 3 oil changes per season.[EMAIL="Zach@n3boatworks.com"]Zach@n3boatworks.com[/EMAIL] -
I have a gt40 ford 351 and I usually put about 40 hours a season.Comment

Change the oil every year, change the transmission fluid every other year, Change the impeller every other year, monitor the condition of the strut bearing, and things like belts etc. Your boat has no FCC so replace the inline filter water/fuel separator every couple years.[EMAIL="Zach@n3boatworks.com"]Zach@n3boatworks.com[/EMAIL]Comment

Okay sounds like I am on track! The only thing that I haven't check is strut bearing. How do I go about checking that?Comment

Just need to look at excess play or uneven wear from side to side. They specify a 300 hour service interval but that is a bit silly. People run them wayyyy longer than that. Usually what gets a strut bearing is the rubber dry rotting.[EMAIL="Zach@n3boatworks.com"]Zach@n3boatworks.com[/EMAIL]Comment
