Change oil, fuel filter, oil filter and lower unit grease every 100 hrs. Also change all the zincs, internal and external, every year.
My dealers says that if I keep up this maint schedule, I should get 2500 hours before a rebuild.
I'm very impressed with your maintenance ethics. Seems it is paying off for you. Interesting how you change the zines internal and external every year..hmmmm

My Merc mechanic did not mention this to me....I will ask at years end maintenance appt.

It's interesting in that my Yami dealer never told me either about the internal zinc. I got tipped off to them from a mobile marine mechanic that did some work for me during the winter.

No boat, back in the suds.
