Hi all,
This may be posted somewhere else, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for on the web.
I'm looking for a standard maintenance checklist for a 4-stroke outboard down to the "every-use" frequency. I've always had a 2-stroke, so may have some info backwards.
This is what I had in mind so far:
After Every Use:
- Flush motor with fresh water
- check gas for water
End of season:
- Change oil
- Winterize
Beginning of each season:
- change lower unit oil
Every other season:
- Water impeller change
My motor is old, so I'm planning on treating right to get as much out of it as possible, but I know I'm missing stuff that I should be doing. Like "service the flux capacitor" or something that I don't even know about. Thanks for any words of wisdom.
Jeff
