Scheduled maintenance
The major service event — full manufacturer protocol with compression testing, power trim service, and every consumable inspected or replaced so your engine runs like the day it left the dealer.

Single engine, sub-150 HP · most comprehensive interval
The 200-hour service is the deepest scheduled maintenance interval in the standard recreational outboard cycle. Full Throttle Marine performs the complete manufacturer checklist — including compression testing, belt and hose inspection, anode review, power trim fluid service, and replacement of wear items — at your location.
At 200 hours, internal wear patterns become measurable, valve train and fuel systems need deeper attention, and deferred maintenance from skipped 50- and 100-hour visits compounds into four-figure repairs. This interval is the difference between an engine that lasts 3,000+ hours and one that needs a rebuild early.
High-hour owners, offshore anglers, multi-season Florida operators, and buyers preparing a vessel for sale who need documented major service.

Engine Maintenance
Dings, fishing line, and depleted anodes are cheap to fix early and expensive when ignored.
No regrets: Fishing line on the prop shaft can destroy a seal in one season — always look before you launch.
Full DIY guide →Rust & Corrosion
Anodes protect lower units and trim tabs. Too little zinc and metal erodes; too much can overprotect.
No regrets: If an anode looks 'fine' but hasn't been changed in two seasons, it's probably wrong for your slip chemistry.

Intermittent codes disappear when you cycle keys — and so does the diagnostic clue.
No regrets: Photo the screen or write the code down first — always.
