    2010 300 Verados

    OB NOOB here....so go easy on me.

    What kind of maintenance is required for these motors? Gear oil, plugs, what else?

    Generally speaking, is 400 hours a lot of hours for these motors?

    The 2010 300s are gen 2 which is a good engine. 400 hours is nothing for them, should last easily to about 1200 + hours. Change oil at every 100 hours and plugs about 300 hours.

    If you got them for a good price you will be happy with them.

    I think a belt replacement is recommended at 300 hrs as well. Pretty reliable pieces.
    A problem is only a problem when viewed as a problem...

    Thanks Guys! How do Verados compare to Optimax? Which would you rather have? The application is a 30+ foot center console.
