I am just curious if any of you have had the 20 hr service performed on your boat? The reason that I ask is that I seem to keep getting different info. on what the dealers will actually do. I am just wondering if this was a waist of my money. I am mechanically inclined anyway and I really have a problem with anyone working on any of my vehicles. You just never know if they actually did what they tell you they will do or not and I really don't trust anyone but myself when it comes to maintenance. I hated taking my boat to the dealer yesterday and seeing it sitting there on in their yard made me sick. I really just want some reassurance these guys are professionals and will do a great job with my boat. It is our prize possesion and I don't want a half a$$ job with whatever they do. Thanks.

You should never feel like you are describing when dropping your boat off. Ask questions! Ask what they are going to do, how long it will take them and let them know what your expectations are if you don't feel comfortable. The only emotion that I get when dropping my boat off is sadness that I am not taking it out, I have 100% confidence in my dealer and they take care of me!
I think a 20 hour is an oil change and overall check of the boat to make sure everything is kosher. -
I feel that the 20 hr service is the most important.
By this time the boat has almost broken in, and the dealer will check all the alignments and linkages. During my service, they replaced the steering cable, as the dealer was not happy with the way it felt.
I have since done all the rest of the services myself. And I never regret not doing the first one.

Yep, all us mokaniks are just fraudulent, dishonest crooks and thieves..........how else can we afford such a nice expensive boat.You just never know if they actually did what they tell you they will do or not and I really don't trust anyone but myself when it comes to maintenance.
Name an industry that doesn't have any bad apples, even God has had a few dishonest employees.

I am not attacking you on a personal level. I am a diesel mechanic myself & I drag raced for 15 years and did all the work on the race car myself. I am not trying to start any trouble. I just wanted some reassurance that everything would be fine. I am just not sure about leaving my vehicle with someone I don't know. I am OCD and have never trusted anyone but myself for any kind of maintenance. I guess it doesn't matter anyway, it has to be done for warranty purposes. By the way the boat has been flawless and haven't had anything but a good time with it.Originally posted by chpthril View PostYep, all us mokaniks are just fraudulent, dishonest crooks and thieves..........how else can we afford such a nice expensive boat.
