Outboard Service Description:

After the initial 20-hour service, it is recommended that the oil is changed at 100 hours. Most boat owners may not reach 100 hours during a season. The question becomes, “Is it really necessary to change the oil before my boat is put away for the offseason?” My answer to that question is, “Yes.”

Although they have not reached 100 hours, the time spent using the boat has begun to break down the oil leaving deposits in the oil pan. As oil breaks down it becomes acidic and should be removed from the pan to avoid corrosion. Keeping your oil clean, by changing it at scheduled intervals, is crucial to maintaining your investment.
