    40 hours put on engine -change oil?

    I only put approx 40 hours on my 98 GT 40 SN engine this summer. It has been sitting for the past month and the oil looks clean -not black at all. Should I change it?
    The lake is very low and i have joined at a private club hence not using my boat.

          Do you want 40 hours of combustion byproducts sitting in your oil all winter long? 10 or 15 hours, probably do not need the change. 40 hours, you do. change the transmission fluid also.
