88 Baretta success cuddy info needed

[cncfe]

I have 21' 88 baretta cuddy with a aq171c and 290 drive, Does anyone have any info on this boat/motor/drive???

I am new to this and dont know what i need to do as far as maintance. Do i only have to worry about gas in the boat and oil change?? i dont enjoy things breaking and then saying to myself " oh i didnt know i needed to check that"

I have already had impeller go out, and timing belt break, since it is down for now i figured i would take the time to learn all i can about it while i repair the problems it has now.

Is there any thing i need to grease? any other oil i need to check other then engine oil?

just need someone to point me in the right direction.


thanks.

Go to this link http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?p=2360521#post2360521 Item #10 will take you to the Volvo site where you can download an owners manual. It has a maintenance schedule and information on what should be done when.
I would also suggest you change the ujoint bellows. When they fail, things get expensive very fast.
