Re: Engine Outboard - Preventative Maintenance Pro
Annual:
Water pump impeller
Spark plugs
Lower-unit oil
Timing adjust
New fuel line and primer bulb from water separator to engine.
Semi-Annual:
Fuel filters (2)
De-carbonize engine with PowerTune
Lube steering, steering cable, and tilt tube
Ongoing:
FluidFilm entire engine
Flush with fresh water EVERY time I pull it out (Only sits in the water continuously for 9 days per year, trailered the rest)
Always run at 90%+ power for 2-3 minutes on the way in to the dock. If running light, I stay below 6000 rpms.
Use only Quicksilver Synthetic blend or Yamalube synth blend oil in premix.
