Maintenance on Redline 351 Custom Weld 1996

[51Chevy5Window]

Hi all,

I just purchased my grandpa's boat and want to make sure I go through every aspect I should on maintenance before the fishing season starts. Does anyone have good links to the maintenance schedule for this engine? I am having a hard time finding the manual and my grandpa had everything memorized. I'm afraid I don't remember all the things we use to do to the boat. Looking for any videos on checking the drivetrain oil, prop oil/lower unit??, Thank you in advance.

Hi Bondo,

I hope you're staying healthy these days best go fishing and isolate. It is Custom Weld in Lewiston Idaho I am not sure if they marinized it but I have seen this is popular in jet boats. Maybe not anymore. The drive is a SD-309 Jet from American Turbine.

Ayuh,..... I'm still livin' my life, like I always have,......
I'm not chicken-little, the sky is not falling, 'n my hair is not on fire,....

Yer jet-drive don't have a prop, 'n probably gets greased, rather than oiled,.....

Yer motor probably uses the same oil filter as a Ford would,....
For oil, many of us just use a quality diesel oil, which in my case is Rotella 15W-40,....
For the fuel filter, check yer's for numbers,.....
