500 hour service

[Watarski]

I've just recently passed the 500 hour mark...I unfortunately do not have the manual for the boat. Can anyone provide a quick rundown of what needs to be taken care of at this point?

Thanks,
Craig

Not sure that there is a 500 hour check list but do your normal oil change and transmission fluid change, inspect the belts, make sure the impeller is still pumping water and that is about it. If there isn't anything out of the ordinary, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

so no need to worry about spark plugs or anything else?

when is the last time that you changed them? Usually, I don't do anything unless I have problems but others are concerned and they change them. If you want to, pull one out and see how it looks. If you decide to replace them, then do so.

I change spark plugs, impeller, and fuel filter at the start of each season. All fluids are changed at the end of each season (and at recommended intervals during season).

Thanks for the replies. I probably need to do the fuel filter...not sure if that was ever done.

Don't forget to change the v-drive oil also.
