Maintenance Matters® A Simple Guide for the longevity of your Outboard

PROTECTION AND PEACE OF MIND

Why Maintenance?
From their painstaking design to their meticulous construction, Yamaha outboards are manufactured to provide you with years of enjoyment.

But high load, high-RPM operation, extreme temperatures and humidity, saltwater, sun, even long periods of non-use can all exact a heavy toll. Regular maintenance is important in helping your outboard meet the demands of these challenging environments, and only you can make sure it happens.

Benefits of Maintenance
Spending a relatively small amount of time making sure your outboard is in proper condition is simple to do, and:

You’ll have more hours of trouble-free enjoyment on the water.
You’ll preserve your investment with a higher resale value.
Your boat will be ready when you are.
It’s easier and costs less to maintain than repair.
Yamaha dealers stand ready to help.

So what are the basics? Keep your outboard ready to run with basic maintenance like:

Changing engine and lower unit oils every 100 hours
Regularly flushing with fresh water
Replacing fuel filters periodically
Helping to prevent corrosion
