20 Hr Service

[Madtown Mobius]

I have an '06 LSV that's due for it's 20 hour service. I talked to an Indmar service tech and was told at the 20 hour service they only change the engine oil. I checked the owners manual and it says the same thing. I'm curious how many owners had all their fluids changed at 20 hours and what reason for changing the V-drive and tranny fluid?

I don't think they change anything but the engine oil. I think the service is really to check everything out and make sure the motor a transmision will continue to perform the way they are meant to perform. The dealer can probably give you a list of what it is that they check.

Heck, what's another $400 for a little piece of mind. So far, aside from gas, the 20hr, 50hr, & 100hr service are the only thing I have spent money on. The boat has operated perfectly.

Happiest times are when you buy and sell

Bla, Bla, Bla

Everyone's nervous when they make a big, luxury purchase. I have had my boat 2-1/2 years and the only time I even remotely felt bad was in the winter when it was sitting in the garage. I feel good everytime I get in it, whether I am cleaning it, driving it, or just sitting in the back seat drinking a beer during the winter when I can't take it out.

How much is a little happieness worth?

They didn't list all of what was done at my 20 hr, but they did say they changed the oil and changed the fuel filter. Also a few other minor things

just got the service completed and it was $160. a lot better price then i was quoted from the local dealer, which was $300. too bad i had to go to a malibu/centurion shop to get it done. $140 in gas money goes a long way.

I just had my 20 hr service done on my 07 LSV. They changed the oil in the engine and vdrive, checked all other fluids, checked hose clamps, ballast system,steering linkage,shaft, prop, etc., along with warranty items that I had a list of: depth finder needed to be glued down as it had become unglued, rewire battery switch as it did not turn off power to accessories when in the 0 (off) position, as well as around 8 minor things. I was very pleased when I got the bill for 97.00 which included tax!

LOL I guess I should have put something in my message about my "sarcasm".... No need at all to apologize, I was totally kidding around. I just see it as a learning experiance.
