What do you pay for yearly service?

[ajsboat]

Time for me to do my yearly service and don't have to time or will power to do it myself.

What do you guys normally pay and what do you get done? Maybe oil change, trans fluid change, impeller, fuel filter, etc. What is necessary?

i will be there in October for service. don't really need the Yeungs, but the palm reading may be quite helpful.

oh, i forgot, it will cost me $2000 to get there, i guess i should cancel my service appointment.

keep hearing of this yueng thing, but haven't been able to find it yet. it is very elusive out here in the pac northwest...

I would expect to pay around 2-3 bills for all fluid changes, impeller and fuel filter..
it cost me $249 for my last winterization including oil change, fog, impeller and ballast winterization(waste of money imo). add another $50 for fuel filter.

there are other threads that detail the hours of service and what to have done. search for those, and I believe there is a pdf floating around here somewhere that has a chart with checks that make it easy...

Yes Sandm is right on target.

20hr service i just paid for, pick her up tomorrow.

oil change
trans change
impeller change
check engine trans alignment
check shaft seal
tight all mounting hardware, tower and check all electronics
few other little things.

100hr service is the 20hr plus fuel filter and a few other things they wouldnt tell me about at the time but it is 500

Winterization - 150 includes drain all water, fog engine, disconnect all pipping that had water in it.

Summerization 100 - reconnect all tubing, change oil, and run engine for basic testing.

I don't have the complete list of each service but yea its expensive and there's plenty of posts and threads on what and how to do most of this stuff yourself.

I paid for the 20hr service since the boat is brand new. I don't know if i can swallow the 100hr service and rest of the services. I have a pretty solid mechanical background working at Ford for so long and my degree is in electrical engineering so i tinker a bit in that.

we pay for the winterization and get the oil changed at that time, then in the spring, just dump in the lake and start... no need to pay for summerization if they connect all the pipes again once drained..

guessing since the op is on florida, he won't ever need any of that, just basic maintenance.
in that case, can't really call it yearly service, but more like a car, but with hrs instead of miles....

Adam - Here's what I paid and had done:

Twenty-Hour Service - No Charge
October 2007 Winterize - No Charge
April 2008 Summerize - $139.10
October 2008 Winterize - $248.93
May 2009 Summerize - $134.94

Winterize service includes oil change, ballast system, and heater. Summerize is simply a matter of putting everything back together and making sure the boat is running fine. I'm in and out of the dealdership in about an hour and a half.

My boat is an '07 Outback. The first two services (20-hour and '07 winterize) were NC as part of the incentive package to purchase the boat.

I'm okay paying a professional to maintain my boat and keep it worry-free for me. All the work is done at the dealer from which I bought my Outback. It has the service record and stands behind the work.

Hope this helps. - Deerfield

I paid almost 600 a year for two years of winterization. Then my dad finds a guy to come to his place and winterize his old cabin cruiser with a washroom and everything for a hundred dollars. That was two different dealers in two different provinces that charged me that much.
