Pre-Ride Mechanical Check List ?'s

[justsan]

I know everyone has their different regiments when getting their boat ready for either a day trip, or for a long weekend, but what checks do you go through on a regular basis before heading out?
(ie.) Check Oil, check tranny fluid, lug nuts tightend...

I know I check the oil (never really pull the plug so I don't worry about that), make sure the sea strainer is tight, flusher is tight, and that's about it.

What do you guys check/ re-check?

I always try to make sure my cooler is full and my skis are in the boat.

Plug and battery...that's it. With proper summerization, you should be good to go on everything else. I check oil levels about mid summer.

Plug and Battery in the boat.....tire pressure, lug's tight, and tail lights on trailer.....that's it for me also. I also try to check twice a year all the screws and bolts on all the skis and boards. And I check out the bolts on our "most used" wakeboards every trip out.
