Only thing I do for the winter is trailer maintenance. February is usually when I repack the bearings, check lights,tidy up my flush system, replace bunk pads, etc. I have the Accu-lube axel, so greasing is not that big of a chore.

Sorry to hear that, Spare. Comes a time when u just gotta let them go. Too bad u can t put some concrete rubble in it, take it out to 80-100 ft of water and let it go.

Im going to fab up a flush system for my brakes. Some tubing, couple fittings and a T. Ill drill a hole in the backing plate and put the T in there so I can hook up a garden hose to it and wash out the brakes before they rust up .

You guys don't seem to do enough or am I doing to much?
I go over every screw on the hull and make sure that they are tight
Go thru the 1 st aid kit , I mentioned that before
Going to run a new fuel line from my tank to my motor
Than go thru the yearly engine pm
Remove prop and grease shaft
Check thermostats,plugs grease fittings, steering
I always do this when I go to start her up in the spring
Plus I have more to do
Is it me or do I do to much?

No it isn't YOU. When I had my Proline I/O I went nuts figuring out what needed to be done for the season coming up, checking screws, filters, lights and especially the two first aid kits, that I needed. They told me I was nuts, join the club.

Nice boat, hook in hand ,not so nice
I'm happy to hear we are in the same club , checking our boats from bow to stern
I have a list,I do this every year and go down the list of things to check and if I come up with new things I put them on the list, I can't remember schit anymore
The trailer I pump up the bearings with bearing buddies Check the rollers and this year I am going to jack up the trailer and make sure there is no movement in the wheels Side to side,,up and down ,
I do this every year I try to keep her in the best condition I can She has some years on her but I love the Steplift It's a great boat.
