Annual Service

[Mjmyers]

Hello! Our 2020 R5 Surf is on a lake that the closest cobalt dealership is like 3+ hours away so it’s a real pain in the rear to take it back each year for service. Is there a list of annual service items and list of parts and where I could buy them to do the service myself? Ie filters, oil and impeller, etc? I’m pretty handy so am confident I could do it myself but can’t seem to find or get anyone to tell me all that needs to be done. Thank you!!

The engine and drive service can be done by anyone, since it’s a surf model I’m assuming it’s a VP, I’d lookup a VP authorized service center close to you and service there. They can handle any recalls or warranty work on the engine and drive as well.

Simply put, each year oil/fuel filters, oil change, drive lube, impeller every two years.

Thanks!!!

Also, pull the drive every year to inspect bellows and engine/drive alignment.

It's why I welded up a drive stand to make the removal easier.

I wish you were my neighbor!

On my old single prop VP there was a tool to check alignment, is there something similar for the DP? Part Number?

It's the exact same tool for all Mercruisers and Volvos that use gimbal bearings.

I know I'm a little late to this question, but I have an excel checklist I can send to you.
