  • Most dealers today are stuck in the past when the thinking was to change the distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs every couple of seasons. Newer (10 years and newer) engines may not need a major tune up for 500 hours (subject to inspection). The most important service is oil change and filter, transmission service, lube all linkages including rudder, and water pump inspections.
  • Most dealers go by hours only - Florida is a high humidity area and we need to go by hours or months.
  • We have provided you with a breakdown of our recommendations, based on over 50 years of service. Some items of service could be very dependent upon the type of water the boat frequents
    • Example: we highly recommend a raw water filter in weddy waterways. This prevents blockage of the cooling system and subsequent pump failures.
  • With good, proper performed maintenance, your boat should give you years of pleasure.
Providing Excellent Service for over 50 years!
