    Does the ETec 3yr/300hr Start Over?

    E225DHLSD
    5125083


    Had my 3yr/300hr maintenance done last week. Does everything start over for another cycle or do I need to do something each year?

    In fresh water it starts over, but it is a good idea to occasionally check over the motor visually by removing the cover and giving the motor a look-see for anything out of the ordinary. Also inspect the prop shaft and seal area for any fishing line that may have been picked up. You still are responsible for stabilizing the fuel and doing the winterizing procedures when the time comes.

    In salt water, the manual suggests more often maintenance plus greasing the fittings and propshaft at least annually.

    It it used in fresh water only.
    I do the simple inspections already.
    So here we go for another 3 years!
