yearly maint. 25hp outboard merc

[sear99]

I'm about ready to start taking the boat out again this year. I've had it sitting under a cover. Before I set it up to store I ran it for five minutes with a good mixture of stabil in the gas. <br />Is there any good advice anyone can give me on things I should replace once a year? or any other maintenance anyone would recomend?<br /> Thanks,<br /> Matt Searcy

Get a repair manual.<br />Change lower unit oil.<br />Change water pump impeller.<br />CLean or replace sparkplugs.<br />Clean or replace(depending on type) fuel filter.<br />Replace thermostat every few years.<br />Decarb the motor.<br />Grease all grease fittings.<br />Lube all other points detailed in the manual.<br />Grease the prop shaft.
