  • Change interval: Every 150 hours of operation or annually
  • Blown seals: The SD20 is susceptible to blowing the seals if the oil is filled too high. Many have added a vent line to the top of the filler cap. Without the vent, only fill the saildrive oil to the bottom of the dipstick


Procedure to change oil in the water:

  1. Using a pump with a small tube remove as much oil as possible
  2. Refill oil to full capacity (bottom of dipstick)
  3. Run engine 5 minutes
