(I use the boat year round but it has been sparingly this year because I got a...because I got a...because I got a...it is so hard for me to say it...because I got a job!) I usually change the oil annually or at 50 hours, which ever comes first. When I lived up north the oil would be changed annually with the fall haul out, which was always at less than 50 hours.

So, here is the next question: How frequently should one change the gear box oil? Thoughts?
