Hey Guys,
Quick question about 4-strokes and yearly maintenance. What are you guys going? I have 2006 twin 225's and yearly maintenance is what I am planning, but just rolled the bill up to $600 (total for twins). Was wondering what the forum was doing and frequency? I would be over estimating if I had 200 hours on the boat during the year.
The engines went through a complete rebuild (new blocks), new filters, oil, etc April 2016. Is this over-kill?
I keep a spare set of plugs, filters, T'Stats and water pumps with me on the boat. Just curious as to what everyone is going and their yearly maintenance routine.
Thanks in advance.

- Fuel Filters
- Buffer Plate (Water Separator on block)
- Water Separator/Fuel Filter (on boat)
- T'Stats
- Water Pumps
- Block Anodes (has anyone been replacing these, if so what frequency)?
- Spark Plugs (again, new April 2016) (has anyone been replacing these, if so what frequency)?
- Oil Change
- Oil Filter (I assume I don't need a new housing, just the separate filter element?)
- Lower Unit Oil
