Ocean Runner Maintenance Question

[vdimenna]

I have a 96 200 Ocean Runner. I annually change the plugs, filters and decarbon it, the water pump was changed last season. It doesn't have an hour meter on it and I bought it used. <br /><br />The question I have is there anything I'm overlooking as far as maintenance or being proactive goes? It runs fine other than it will stall once in a while when it's hot, but I can deal with that. <br /><br />Thanks <br />Vic DiMenna

Have you been changing the lower unit lub and checking for water infiltration? If not, this should be an annual procedure -- more often if the boat sees high useage. Thermostat replacement every couple of years is another preventive maintenance measure.

I forgot to add that, yes I do change the lower unit lube as well. I have never changed the thermostats. I will do that before I drop it in this season. <br /><br />Thanks

Mine as well check the poppet valve,grommet, and spring while your at it.<br /><br />And just make sure all your fuel lines (external and internal) are in good shape, i.e., soft with no cracks.
