Ok, I understand that a little maintenance isn't going to break the bank and boats are expensive. I've always tried to follow the recommendations, but.........
..... there are some things that just seem completely over the top when it comes to the frequency of maintenance. I'm thinking of things like trailer bearings. We are constantly greasing them and changing them out every couple of years. I don't recall EVER changing a wheel bearing on a car/truck. Oil changes on sterndrives (I know, not common on BBC) is another. It would be like dumping the oil in your car after less than 1000 miles. Fogging cylinders? Who in the heck ever fogged the cylinders on a sports car that sits over the winter?
