Mine was $345.00 They did the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, tanny fluid, check the plugs.

Thanks. That didn't include the impeller right?

There telling me i need to replace the impeller at the 100Hr service.

I thought as long as you replaced it each season your good to go. Id like to think if your running the boat that often it will last the season.

Its the sitting for 6+ months and it drying out that makes it fail no?

Not neccessarily Mike, my brother-in-law ran his for 4 years! Some people will pull it at the end of season and bag it in vaseline until spring. I've never done that. Some people replace it every year. I've never done that. I'm on the same one from last year and it works fine, doesn't mean i don't have a spare though. Heat & debris is mostly what kills them.

That's the reason i anchor out from shore & start out there so i don't suck sand and such into the impellar and never run the boat in close or into lake weed. Now an old one can crack over time but seriously there's no reason to replace every year unless you do a lot of hours.

Btw my dealer also concurred with my assesment after i explained it to him.

If you change the impeller every year for $35 yourself, tell the dealer to stuff it. Somebody else said the dealer "checks the plugs". What do they check? Change those every year your self as well. A set for my boat was like $25. Do the easy stuff yourself and save the money for when something breaks.

The Plugs would be easy to do all you need to know is the gap and i bet someone on the form knows that. How hard is the impeller to replace? Sounds like it is easy? Changing the oil should be easy?
You know i think we should put together a how too book on the services. I think the hardest part is finding where everything is located. Also put a ranking on how hard it is too do for an average person.
