We just bought a new Baja 242 this season. One of the things that we had
the dealer add as part of the deal was the 20 hour service. Your list
sounds about right for what they did with our boat but it didn't cost us a
dime.

It did...but instead of being an additional out of pocket cost, it's
included in your monthly boat payment, along with everything else you
negotiated into the total price of your boat. If you want to know what
they're really costing you, back 'em out of the amount you financed and
run your boat loan payments without 'em.

I just got the boat back from it's 20 hour maintenance that the dealer
suggested I take in to them to ensure it's done properly. Stupidly, I
didn't ask enough questions at the time. It seems to me that all they
did was change the crankcase oil and gear lube and then, according to
the service guy, checked the trailer, gauges, etc. Everything apart
from changes those two fluids seems to have been a visual inspection.
For under $20 in parts and over $170 in labor, it seems to be a huge
scam. I could have easily changed those fluids myself. Next time
I'll know better. Next step... winterizing. Who should do it?
Thanks!
