Service needed???

[Leaf1384]

Hello all,
Been awhile since I have been on here. I was the bonehead that bought a 19 foot boat and then realized it didnt fit in my 22 foot garage, lolol. Anyway, boat has been running great with absolutely no issues. Having said that, I purchased the boat from a widow and have no idea when the deceased had the boat serviced last. What service should I have done just for "peace of mind" and ball parking what will I have to pay. Thanks in advance (again) for all the input.


Mer Cruiser 350 I/O. Hour meter read 299 at time of purchase, 316 now.

Re: Service needed???

I would do ALL the services. Impellar, oil change, lower unit service, inspect the bellows...... do it all

You might also consider looking into a folding trailer tongue to help you fit in your garage.

Get a break-away tongue kit and lower the outdrive. It MIGHT just barely fit then.

Thanks Bob. Yes I did and it shaved about 34 inches off the tralier. Fits perfect now.
