Boat Motor Maintenance

[cupnglide]

Teal season and early goose is a good excuse to get the boat out and work out the kinks of sitting up for months. Everybody knows to drain the old gas, etc. but here's one I came across that some of y'all may want to check.

I have a Pro-Drive. It has several fuel lines and breather/vacuum lines on it. When the motor started running rough, I looked around for the cause. There were three breather hoses with splits and cracks on the ends. I switched those out and the motor is back to good. This motor is two years old. So don't assume your motors aren't having similar problems.
