Hey Folks,

Ok now that our canadian winter is over, let's be honest this year we never really got a canadian winter but anyways.... Boat and trailer were stored indoors all winter season long.

What do you all suggest for maintenance and a list of things to check or do after the winter prior to launching the boat?

Check tire pressure and functionality of the lighting
Bearings should have been looked after during winterization last fall

Check tire pressure and light function. Everything else should have been done the previous Fall:

* check tire date code and replace over Winter if over 5 years old, and/or if the sidewalls are cracked.
* Lube wheel bearings.
* Check for rust or other damage and repair accordingly.
* Check brake master cylinder, pads and look for system leaks.
