Nothing, except maybe antifouling bottom paint if it doesnt already have it. If its raw water cooled, you could consider closed cooling systems.

Yep, what Zool said. The only other thing I can think of is to make sure the engine thermostats are 160degree max if the engines are (and will remain) raw water cooled.
