The interval between necessary service or
maintenance is highly variable, depending on the
environment your boat is in, and on the severity of
operating conditions. For example, corrosion of
parts on boats operated in salt water proceeds
much faster than the corrosion of parts on a boat
operated in fresh water. The intervals listed below
are recommended maximums, and you must reduce
the time between inspections if your observations
indicate the need.
