I'd say just the normal items. Check over the bellows, listen for the gimbal bearing, etc. Check for corrosion and intact bonding wires. Not sure what the manual recommends, but the drives should be removed and shafts lubed every few years.
I had an '08 with twin Bravo 3's and never again. I have inboards right now, but if I go back to an outdrive, it'll be a Volvo. I will say personally I'm not a fan of the Bravo 3, from the sea water pump location on the engine - to a friend just burning up two Bravo 3's with less than 500 hours on the boat.
Thank you! I would prefer Volvos as well but alas...
