    Re: 225 Pro XS (Triton Bob)

    Here's what we recommend:

    -Computer Diagnostic- Check Run History and Freeze Frame (Fault) History
    -Compression, Leakdown, or AT LEAST a cyl. Drop Test
    -Spark Plugs
    -Fuel Filter
    -Inspect Oil and Fuel Lines
    -Grease all Pivot Points
    -Inspect Belt, Tensioner, Compressor & Alternator
    -Careful Visual Inpection
    -Check Shift & Throttle Cable Adjustments
    -Change Gear Lube
    -Check for Fishline on Propshaft- inspect hub, grease shaft, and retorque Prop
    -Change Water Pump (AT LEAST impeller and gaskets)
    -Retorque Steering and Engine Mounting Hardware
    -Test or Inspect Thermostats (this CAN be done with the Computer Diagnostic System, as an alternative to "removing" them)

    Price will vary.. depending on shop labor rate. See your IM's.

    I can't speak for "other shops".... but the services listed above are a "packaged" service in our shop (discounted).

    Approximately $465-$485, including parts AND labor.
