Check for leaks in fuel system, cooling system, oil, exhaust system, power steering, power trim, etc.

Check throttle and shifting.

Check steering system.

Check transmission fluid.

Check cooling system clamps and belts.

Check Battery fluid level and case.

Check electrical system for loose or damaged wires or connections.

Check fuel pump for fuel leaks.

Check steering.

Change crankcase oil and filter.

Check power steering fluid on models so equipped.

Inspect for leaks in fuel system, water system, cooling system, oil, power steering system, power trim system, gear case, etc.

Inspect cooling hoses and clamps for tightness, check pressure cap if so equipped.

Check exhaust bellows and clamps.

Inspect belts for wear and tightness.

Clean and inspect ignition system.
