    Get new gas.
    Use gas conditioner stuff 2+2 or Stabile in the new gas.
    Air up tires on trailer, don't forget the spare tire
    Charge up batterys.
    Put new Oil in the lower unit.
    Make sure the plugs are in before you launch LOL
    Check the fuel lines to make sure they don't leak. Rubber can crack over the winter months.
    Check all fishing line and put on new line if the line is old. Will help save that big fish that you are going to catch this spring. Old line gets weakened by sunlight and ozone over the summer and will not have the stength that is needed after sitting all year long in the boat or house. Sunlight can really be a line killer.
    Get boat registered for this season
    Get your new Park Pass
    Get fishing license on March 1 The IN liscense expires on Feb 28th.

    two more things, check the lights on the trailer and even more important the wheel bearing grease. probably wouldn't want to get rear ended or have a wheel go flying off.
