[C320-list] C320 Warranty 50hr first service

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

Nigel,
Don't know for sure but my guess is that they would:
Cange oil/fluid in transmission
Change fuel filter(s)
Change engine oil
Change oil filter
Check adjust belt tension
Check stuffing box
Look for water, colant, oil or fluid leaks
Check/adjust rigging tension with a Loose guage
And then fix/replace anything that you have on your punch list.

Diesel in the builge is not nice and you should get them to clean that up.  When changing filters and bleeding the system you have to take precautions to prevent any fluids from getting into the builge and then causing polution in adition to the stinky mess that it makes in the builge.

Does anyone know just what the first 50hr warranty service is supposed to cover.
When I bought the boat, I was told to return to the dealer at 50 engine hours for an engine service and tensioning of the standing rigging plus any warranty repairs.
Despite my requests before and after the service, the dealer has been very coy about the matter and not given me any idea of what should have been done or what was done. In fact, if it wasn't for a quantity of diesel in the bilge, there was no evidence that anything was done.
Cheers,
Nigel
