some things you will wanna grease would be your...piston return springs...muffler bearing...knifkin pins...check your your snowglobe...make outrageous demands to your upholstery...

Really can't tell you what you need to do without knowing what kind of engine package and make model you have. Larson used many different engines so get back at us with some more information there are plenty of experts on this site willing to help you.

You will need to let folks know what kind of rig your have. Probably a stern drive unit since you posted on this site. Mine has a zerk for the Gimbal on the stern drive and two for the trim.

I also have a zerk for the drive shaft in the engine compartment. Then there are the steering, fuel, and shifter linkages than need lube.
The drive lube, trim lube, engine oil, and steering fluid all need to be checked, replaced or topped off.

But, based on personal experience do not forget to check your trailer brakes if you have one.

Ayuh,...An 89 Larson Boat probably don't need any Greasing at all....

Tell Us about the Driveline,+ We can give you a few Tips about that though...
