Good the hear b 'dog!

Brand-new boater here, some minimal, general auto/motorcycle motor experience.
Where could I find a good reference to maintain this motor properly?

Only thing I have seen the read-only online service manual (from boats dot com (?))

I would only be taking it to the dealer's shop, unless it is really mushed up.
Like they say with motorcycles, if you need the dealer that much, might as well take up another hobby!

Boat is still at the paperwork stage...
Gotta get spouse to watch some launch and retrieve videos on YouTube..!
