    Yamaha Engine Service?

    I'm new to owning a bassboat of the quality I have now (ZX190 w/175HPDI). I've had it for about 16 months now & the only service I've had done to it was the post-break in service at the dealership I bought it at. That was free. I'm looking to get it serviced/oils/lubes changed & am wondering what all I should ensure is done & about how much will something like that cost me. I will still use the boat over the winter, so I'm not worried about "winterizing" it. Just looking to make sure I take care of my investment properly.

    unless you put more than a 100 hours a year, I suggest to our customers that you have you engine checked every fall (change lower unit lube, spark plugs, sync and link) cost under $100.

    Synchronize the linkage (sync & link) to the carbs or the EFI throttle body. Making sure the throttle plates are closed and open at the same time, idle and wide open ignition timing are set properly.
