    nope suggest you change out the fluid every year to year and a half depending on use but doesnt have to be done before winter. pivot bolts should be checked /tightened every hundred cycles or so. other then that there is no matienence on Power Poles ..yet another great thing about them compared to others.

    If the Power Poles pumps are not on a master Power switch independent from a battery charging system I would suggest pulling the inline fuses. Make adding a master switch one of your winter projects.

    This includes if you charge your batteries with an out of the boat charger.
