100 hr service Verado 400R
 

Just thought Id post this as I went and had my 100 hr service. When I had the belts to the superchargers changed out they were pretty well thrashed. Dust all over the place and also they were all smoothed out. I was running them in 100 degree heat and 85 plus humidity the last month and a half before the service and Im sure that had some contribution. I would think about actually changing the belts every 50 hours instead of 100. They aren't that expensive. Im sure I was losing power from their condition for sure. Im gonna do that change every 50 hours for sure independent of any other required service. Currently have 125 hours on Her. My service was done at 115 hrs as Mercury changed them and did oil at 15 hrs after their dial in. Just some helpful info. Steve.

Nice to see that you are enjoying your boat. guess your summer is starting to wind down?!?

How do you like the 400's now that you have a good amount of time running them?

Steve,
Really glad to see that you are putting those kind of hours on the boat and having fun!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the information. Are you seeing any salt intrusion on the motors. When I was running a CC Fountain with my buddy with the 350's Verados we used to get a lot of salt on them.

125hrs in one year makes you a 'hero' in my boating book. Wow ! Good for you !
