What's your favorite oil for your PCM engine?
Tony A posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
What oil does everyone like for their PCM Engine? I have a 2010 PCM ZR-409 that calls for 15W-40 GF-4/SM and I'm wondering what brand people like the best. Your thoughts would be appreciated. -
Typical maintenance list
Bojik posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Not sure why, but when I do a search nothing comes up. So I am sure this has been addressed before, sorry. I bought my boat last spring from an owner who took great care of it, '07 216 ENZO. I really want to keep up the tradition and I am good with car maintenance but a complete newbie to boat maintenance. I am guessing that everyone can help me with a list of items that I will need to check every fall and spring. Along with a good step by step basic how-to for these items, with product suggestions. I live in an area where I will be buying all of my supplies online, unless they are something that is available from a typical auto parts store. And the nearest boat shop is about 2+ hours away. I store my boat in a heated garage all winter, so a full winterization is not necessary in the fall(I think/hope). A list of items I am guessing need to be checked/changed or replaced; Engine oil Oil filter Water pumps (engine and ballast) Transmission oil (or gear box I think) Battery condition and charge (they have been on a trickle charger/conditioner most of teh winter) Trailer brakes Trailer tire grease Items I am not to sure about; Maintenance for the location where the drive shaft goes through the bottom hull Other areas within the hull that are not typically visible Will a "Fake A Lake" allow me to run the engine for a limited time or run ballast pumps for testing? Thanks in advance.
