*Use in salt water or other severe operating conditions requires shorter maintenance/service intervals
**May not be on your boat
Routine inspection, service and maintenance of your
boat’s systems are vital to assure your safety, as well as
for prolonging the life of your boat. You should develop
regular routines for inspecting your boat. The chart
below summarizes inspection, service and maintenance
activities. This section also contains descriptions of some
convenient methods for evaluating the condition of some
of your boat’s systems.
The interval between necessary service or maintenance
is highly variable, depending on the environment your
boat is in, and on the severity of operating conditions.
For example, corrosion of parts on boats operated in
salt water proceeds much faster than the corrosion of
parts on a boat operated in fresh water. The intervals
listed below are recommended maximums, and you must
reduce the time between inspections if your observations
indicate the need.
