    Here is a list I found on another site a while ago and thought that it might be of use to some as Spring seems to be here and many of us are taking that leap of faith and getting the boat out of winter strorage... make sure you check your states laws and change what needs to be changed: Sorry that it is so long.
    Obviously all of these don't need to be taken every trip (i.e. the ten minute drive to the local river doesn't require a grease gun) but this is a great complete list it doesn't hert to go over once in a while.
