I tend to do my stuff about 1 month before end of season. This way if something isn't working right when de-winterizing, I at least can reduce the variables.

1.engine oil change- Late season... aug-sept
2.drive oil change- Late season... aug-sept
3. fuel filter change- Late season... aug-sept
4. plugs- I run my Rinda to check for mis-fire, etc once a year on these three items.
5. wires
6. distributor service
7. impeller change- Late season... aug-sept
8. Trailer bearing service/repack- Typically early spring... like march-april

1.engine oil change - Every fall, but if I put over 50 hours on it during boating season, it gets changed then too.
2.drive oil change - Every fall, but if I put over 50 hours on it during boat season, it gets changed then too.
3. fuel filter change - Every spring, after the first tank of gas
4. plugs - Every 100 hours
5. wires - Every 200 hours
6. distributor service - Every fall I remove the cap/rotor and spray with electronics protectant (bought at West Marine - and per the Volvo Penta service manual). So, I check them every fall, replace when it starts looking bad.
7. impeller change - Every 2 seasons
8. Trailer bearing service/repack - Never done it yet :shock:
