4-TEC Chart

Those w/ the 4-strokes...

So help me out here if you would. The more and more I read the forums the more paranoid I get. 08 speedster SC 215 with 64 hours. I did not winterize beyond fuel stabilizer, sprayed motor and kept in my heated garage with battery off. I'm ready to hit the water and know nothing about a jet boat other than what I read on here. I don't need to change the oil or do other tasks like that according to this chart before going out, is that right?

If you kept it in a heated garage... then you did enough winterizing.

Well... the oil change is up to you. It's 100 hours or one year... so, if your boat hasn't seen one year of use yet... then no, you don't have to change the oil. BUT... I would change the oil since it's been sitting dormant.

With my bikes... once winter is over... I will put one ride on them, and then change the oil, regardless of how many miles they got the summer before.

I agree with Dr. Honda. The same kind of thing goes with your car. They say change the oil every 3 month or 3k miles (which I don't agree with) but even if it just sits there I would change the oil.
