I picked up my boat used with 8 hours on it. Before I took delivery the dealer essentially did a full 10 hour service on it including an oil change. I am now at 13 hours and every time I start the boat I get the "maintenance required" message on my dash. I am not going to go back and pay for a full service again when it was just done. Is there any way to clear the message or do I have to take it to the dealer. They told me today they would charge me a half hour of labor just for that. I think that is ridiculous but won't have much choice if its my only option.

Also when it is due for service again I will be doing most of the work. I don't like other people touching things in my machines.

For the cost of one maintenece trip to the dealer you can get this tool:

The home version for $399.00 will set you up for the life of your boat. Plus it will do 4 vin numbers so you and 3 buddies could split the cost.

 

Just an idea. I dont know of any other way. I plan on getting one.
