 Flush the Engine: Clear salt, debris, and buildup to keep your engine in top shape. 
 Change the Oil and Filters: Protect your engine from wear by replacing oil and filters regularly. 
 
Inspect the Propeller: Check for dents or damage that could affect performance and fuel efficiency. 
 Clean and Wax the Hull: Remove algae, grime, and salt, then apply wax to protect from UV damage. 
 Check the Electrical System: Test lights, fuses, and connections to ensure everything works properly. 
 Inspect Safety Gear: Look over life jackets, fire extinguishers, and signaling devices for wear or expiration. 
 Drain and Dry Storage Areas: Prevent mold by emptying compartments and ensuring they’re moisture-free.
 Check the Bilge Pump: Make sure your bilge pump and float switch are fully functional. 
 Care for the Battery: Charge it fully, clean the terminals, and store it in a dry, cool space if unused. 
 Trailer Maintenance: Check tires, brakes, and lights to keep your trailer road-ready.
