Maybe if you weren't such a slacker, she'd have bought you the whole pound! How's that for thread integration?

Kind of "Paying it forward." Well played.
Damn John, don’t you have a President to protect this weekend or what??? Way do much time here.
I think we now have a new record, one post, one page!

He's back in DC now. VP OTUS is travelling, but that's not quite the same for us. Good news, bad news. I still have to work all weekend, but I don't have to work all night.

Does anyone know if I can do the 100 hour service myself or do I have to let the dealer do it? We have one dealer and they are terrible for service. I know more about the boat then they do.

You can absolutely do it yourself, simply follow a/the checklist. Are you asking this because of potential warranty issues if you do it yourself?

I am concerned about the warrenty. The boat is a year old and this will be it's first service. The dealer in in really bad shape and the last time I used them was for my 240 DA. It took them a month and a half to do the 100 hour service on that boat.
I am not sure if warrenty requires the dealer do the service. I am fully able to do my own.

Keep a written record. Keep receipts for parts. Documentation is the key.

You do not need to use a Sea Ray dealer for mechanical services. Any Mercruiser dealer should be able to handle it.

Fwebster states that any Mercruiser dealer should be able to handle it, which is absolutely sound advice (as usual). This is what I would do, given my personal time constraints, etc.
However, I like Lt. Colonel Hampton’s advice too. This leads you in the direction of turning the wrenches yourself, but keeping absolute detailed records of what you have done. A judge would consider this as “a reasonable accounting“, with respects to most manufacturer's requirements. If you do it yourself and have the notes to support it, you should be good to go.
Either way, and with respect, I would encourage you to consult a Harbrace Handbook prior to posting anything else on CSR. Otherwise you run the risk of Four Winns ridiculing you for improper sentence structure, punctuation or other said heinous writing errors, which may become problematic for you in the future.
Best of luck,

Just to confirm what was said above in regards to having service work done (I'm a dealer saying this):
Yes, you can do any maintenance work yourself and not void warranties - follow advice above about record keeping. Probably won't need it, but CYA.
Correct, engine warranty work does not have to be done by a Sea Ray dealer. It can be performed by a "mom & pop" Merc dealer - as long as they are "Mercruiser Certified".

Thank you. You certainly answered my question. Hawaii is one of the most inconvient places to get things done and even harder to get a good mechanic. I do all my own maintenece for that reason.
