14-Day Check
? Check for water in Racor fuel filter
? Electrolyte level in battery (if lead-acid)
The rate at which battery electrolyte goes down is almost directly proportional to the number of times
the battery is cycled (discharged and recharged). If cruising for you means spending most of your
nights at anchor where you rely on your house batteries for power, then you will cycle your batteries
much more often than those of us who spend our time connected to shore power. Whatever your
practice, pay attention to the electrolyte level of the batteries and you will soon come to know how
often you need to top them up. And remember, use only distilled water when you top up the batteries --
they will last longer. AGM batteries are sealed and maintenance-free.
100 Hour Service (or every six months)
? Change oil in engine and change oil filter
200 Hour Service (or every year)
? Check valve clearance
? Check and/or replace V-belts
? Change air filter
? Check cooling system
? Check battery terminals
? Change engine fuel filter
? Change Racor fuel filter (You may find it necessary to change the Racor filter
element more often if you suffer from poor quality fuel.)
Spare Parts
It is a good idea to carry a full set of spare parts whenever you go cruising. Having a spare raw water
strainer to replace the one you dropped overboard when cleaning it, can make all the difference
between a successful trip and a frustrating wait in the middle of nowhere. Here is our list:
? Deck plate cap
? Engine fuel filter
? Racor fuel filter
? V-Belts
? Raw water impeller
? Raw water strainer
? Thermostats

wrong. If something should happen, check out the following suggestions -- they are by no means
complete but they may be of some help.
