Example of Gas Power Head Services: Change Spark Plugs (Check Spark Plug Wires)* In-line Fuel Filter * Power head Oil and Filter Change ( 4 strokes and I/O) * Fuel/Water Separator Filter Change * Lube and Inspect Prop Shaft, Tilt and Steering *Out Drive Gear Case Oil Change (lower unit) * Water Pump Impeller Change(lower unit)Check Thermostat *
*** Note: These services performed by certified marine mechanics vary based on motor size and type. Please Note:Outboards & I/O's must be pulled from the water and in some cases off the davit/lift for water pump & gear case service and to lube & inspect prop shaft.
In many cases the carburetors and fuel injectors should be scheduled to be cleaned along with the annual svc. Our certified marine mechanics will check to see if your carburetor or fuel injectors (gas & diesel) need cleaning and make a recommendation at that time.
Due to the increased volume of calls regarding bad gas, this is my advice, get fuel conditioner each time you fuel up with gas containing
Ethanol and I recommend that
FUEL WATER SEPARATORS be installed on all gas boat motors where the Captain has elected to use road grade gasoline. The bills related to ethanol use, especially in outboards and any boats that sit for weeks at a time are going to be astronomical according to our trade journals.
Save yourself some $$ and aggravation now by installing a FUEL WATER SEPARATOR.
Please note: Almost all trim/tilt issues, all lower unit (repairs and maintenance) and all prop/tiller repairs most be done with the boat pulled from the water. And, depending what type of lift and how your dock is constructed we may also need to trailer or cradle your boat. We need solid, stable terra firma for lower unit issues. I don't want to see your prop or lower unit in the drink. Ok?
