Maintenance Priorities

[mounty]

Newbie question here

I just bought afresh water boat (2006 sea ray 200 select) with a 5.0 MPI engine and a Bravo 3 outdrive used with no maintenance records. It had 340 hours on it when bought and I can tell it was used "hard". The dealer (sea ray) told me they changed all the "fluids" prior to taking it on consignment, however I didn't ask which ones. Since owning the boat I've replaced the sea water impeller, changed oil, and added a dual battery system.

I need to get the engine maintenance "caught up" and continue to maintain it. So my question, can everyone give me a list of their maintenance priorities in order of importance? How often to perform each?

I've got the maintenance manual however wanted more opinions.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard

The probably simply changed oil and gear lube

Pull the drive and check alignment, grease the shaft splines, inspect the gimbal bearing, imspect the bellows. ( this should be done every year )

Welcome to the forum.

Disassemble part to the exhaust to inspect the raw water passages for corrosion and to inspect for sufficient SOLID wall thickness between the raw water and exhaust gasses.
