For all the have the electric engine hatches...
Yesterday I started my 300hr maintenance routine. Changed the oil, and the raw water impellers. While changing the impellers and inspecting all the hoses, I notices a zerk at the bottom of the cylinder right at the electric motor. This is the pole that raises the hatch. I didn't know it needs lubrication. I gave it a couple squirts from a grease gun and the hatch motor is quite a bit quieter. Amazing what a bit of grease does!
I helped edit the Vista manual for Four Winns prior to it's final printing. I didn't see any mention of any maintenance in the final printing or the draft version.
