yamaha maintenance schedule
How often should you service your Yamaha outboard? Our Yamaha Outboard Maintenance Schedule outlines replacement and inspection activity based on “typical” use. Typical use is defined as:
- Operating your Yamaha outboard at various speeds
- Allowing sufficient time for the engine warm-up and cool down
- Typical cruising speed near 3000 to 4000 rpm range
Suppose you frequently utilize your Yamaha outboard in a more demanding manner than typical use, such as long periods of wide-open throttle or extended periods of trolling. In that case, your service intervals should be shorter. All Yamaha outboard parts required for each service interval are available at PartsVu.
