Maintenance Schedules

NOTE: Refer to appropriate Mercury MerCruiser Sterndrive Service Manual for information
and procedures on sterndrive maintenance.
Avoid injury or death, product damage, fire or explosion. The electrical system is
capable of violent and damaging short circuits or severe electrical shocks. When
performing any activity where any electrical terminals could possibly be grounded
or touched, the battery cables should be disconnected at the battery.

Maintenance Intervals

Maintenance intervals and the tasks to be performed are generally based on an average
boating application and environment. However, individual operating habits and personal
maintenance preferences can have an impact on the suggested intervals. In consideration
of these factors, Mercury MerCruiser has adjusted some maintenance intervals and
corresponding tasks. In some cases, this may allow for more tasks to be performed in a
single visit to the dealer, rather than multiple visits. Therefore, it is very important that the
boat owner and servicing dealer discuss the Maintenance Schedule and develop
appropriate maintenance intervals to coincide with individual operating habits, the
environment and maintenance requirements.
