Fuel Filter and other "Maintenace" Items

Featured Replies

Do you guys recommend changing fuel filters? Spark plugs?

Other than the basic stuff (changing lower unit), which maintenance items do you recommend I do? What should I check/change every year or every so often?

In what motor?

Also, I think you mean the impeller, not the lower unit right? The lower unit change would be pretty major.

What I’ve done so far in my boat once a year is:

Change oil

Change both fuel filters

Change oil filter

Change lower gear unit oil

Change spark plugs

Annually or 100 hours: oil, oil and fuel filters, lower unit lube.

Plugs, thermostat and impeller every other year, but I plan to do those more frequently now that I've drastically increased hours per month.
