New boat owners are likely to be unsure on the frequency of servicing their boat and there really isn’t an easy answer to this question. All boats are different and maintenance can depend on many things such as the age of the boat, how well taken care of it is/has been and how frequently it is used. The best time to have a boat serviced is at the beginning of a season, after it has been put away during the winter. This will help identify an major issues before the start of the new season.

Oil changes in a boat are based on how many hours the boat has been run. Every 100 hours used, the oil should be changed. Engines should be checked and serviced by a professional at least once a year. Beyond this, it is important to look after your boat throughout it’s use. By paying close attention, conducting regular cleans and inspections, you will be able to catch issues early before they become a larger problem.
