Maintenance Schedule

Routine maintenance is necessary for all mechanized products. Periodic maintenance contributes to the product’s life span. The following maintenance chart provides guidelines for outboard maintenance and inspection scheduled to be performed by an authorized Dealer. The schedule should be adjusted according to operating conditions and use. The recommended lubricants have been formulated to protect bearings, gears and engine components. They must be used to avoid damage caused by improper lubrication.
