SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Follow the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE table and service your outboard motor accordingly. Please note, a claim for
warranty coverage will not be denied simply because the maintenance schedule for your outboard motor was not
followed. However, any part(s) that fails specifically due to lack of maintenance, or improperly performed maintenance,
would not be covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
(1) Lubricate more frequently when used in salt water.
(2) These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient. Refer to the Honda Shop Manual
for service procedures. See “Honda Publications” on page 115 for ordering information.
(3) For professional commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance intervals.
(6) Replace the anodes when they have been reduced to about two-thirds of their original size, or if they are crumbling.
