Honda maintenance schedule

How often should you service your Honda outboard? Our Honda Outboard Maintenance Schedule outlines replacement and inspection activity based on “typical” use. Typical use is defined as:

Operating your Honda outboard at various speeds
Typical cruising speed near 3000 to 4000 rpm range
Allowing sufficient time for the engine warm-up and cool down

Suppose you frequently utilize your Honda outboard in a more demanding manner than typical use, such as long periods of wide-open throttle or extended periods of trolling. In that case, your service intervals should be shorter. All Honda outboard parts required for each service interval are available at PartsVu.
