Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Ok I know most of you have changed oil yourself but here is what I need input on. I have no worries about doing maint on the motor (75hp 4-S ) but I have had the boat in the water for a summer and a half and think it is time to change oil and gear and spark plugs. I got it brand new and never changed nothing, should I take it in for at least for one good maint going to cost $275.00 and then I do it myself later in life?

Lindsay90 I would ask what they do for the $275.00, if this includes readjusting all controls and linkages then it might be worth the extra money the first time. If not I would be inclined to purchase a good maintenance manual for my engine and do the work myself.

I know for that price all oil (lower and upper ) grease and new spark plugs but good call on adj things like the steering wheel I will check into that. I just want to know if that price sounds about right and what do you guys pay if you were to do it yourself? I mean if I am going to save 50 bucks doing it myself well better to have a trained guy do it then.

Ok I was a tight a$$ and did the maint myself but guess what.... now I have to take it in cause she does not idle right and seems to be missing. So you guys were right should have took it in the first time

Ok update two bad carbs but they went through all four. It pays to use Stabill next time much cheaper.
