Questions/Advice for Sportster 4-Tec Newbie

16 August 2005 - 12:04 AM

Hi, I got my Sportster 4-tec about 2 months ago and have been enjoying it since. It is a blast. Last weekend took it for the 10 hour service and they said everything was in order. My concern is that the dealer is not the most confidence inspiring one and since they day I walked in to buy the boat they have been very indifferent as if they didn’t even care for my business, maybe because they are the only Sport Boat dealer around. They didn’t really take good care of my boat during the day it was in for service (boat was dirtier when I picked up than when I dropped off) and I am kind of glad that from now on service is just once a year. First of all, is this true? That service after the 10hr one is just once a year? I would really like to do some preventive maintenance myself since I missed out on the extended warranty, I found out there is one on this site, they never offered it… What are items that I should regularly check on? I know about oil and coolant, but regarding the oil, the dip stick is not very clear on what is the recommended level… suggestions? Any other items I should regularly check on especially around the engine and the pump? I read somewhere in the site about a “wear ring” for the pump, is that something I can check if it is good? Any good source of info for good to knows for the 4-tec engine since it has been around now for a few years? Any tips will be appreciated. Just want to make sure the boat will last for many seasons, specially since I just ordered the Garmin GPSMAP 60CS, that should let me explore more of the lake without getting me lost and for the first time tell me how fast I am really going.

Has anybody tried trim tabs in a Sportster? Or even considered it?
