Hey guys... first off I posted about this same subject on another forum, so for those of you that frequent that board, sorry for the repeat here... for the rest of you I was wondering when you service or have your boats serviced.. at the end of the season or the beginning of next season. For the 2 years that I've owned a boat I've had the service done at the end of the season.. but today I was talking to a shop about servicing my motor including putting in a new water pump / impeller, and they advised me to have it done at the beginning of next season.. told me the oil and filters wouldn't matter since the boat would be in storage and that as far as the water pump was concerned, they said doing it now and then just having the boat sit idle for 4 months or so would not be good for the impeller... said non use was more damaging than using it. To a novice like me that makes sense, but then again my knowledge on when to service and what to service is very limited. Curious as to what some of you think... Thanks
