912 TBO
in General Tech Discussion
10 years ago
Hello. The new Rotax 912S has a TBO of 2000 hours. There used to be years assigned too, ie 1500 hours or 15 years. How important is the years part? I am looking at buying a used Rotax 100 HP for my Zodiac 601 HDS. If for example a Rotax 912S has 600 hours and is 12 years old on a 1500/15 year engine, is the low hours more important than the years, assuming that it has been serviced properly along the way? Would a Rotax trained mechanic insist on an overhaul at the 1500 hour point? Thanks.
