2014 G21 What other maintenance should I be doing

[abstron]

I have a 2014 G21 with approx 345 hours. I do most of my own maintenance as dealership is 3 hours away and really busy. With it being off warranty wondering on suggestions of what else I should be doing. I do all the standard oil and filter changes, lube steering cable and rudder, look to tighten loose bolts, change impeller, inspect belts, change plugs. What am I missing, I know it says to inspect engine mount bolts anyone know the torque for them? Should I be changing fuel filter, transmission oil etc? Thanks

Do you have a trailer? It amazes me how people sweat the details on the boat and completely ignore the trailer.....

Yes have a trailer good point, wouldn’t mind seeing what people do on their trailer as well. I inspect it every year and with these vault type bearings how and what are people doing to know their bearing condition?

I have Vault as well. From everything I've read you do nothing for 10 years or unless something goes wrong, but that's just for the bearings. The breaks are a different story. I do a 3 year cycle starting the first year I buy the boat as I buy used and typically the PO has done absolutely nothing to the trailer. My maintenance starts with a fluid flush. Brake fluid goes bad quickly in boat trailers and this is top on my list as it'll save caliper pistons from pitting then hanging. I have a power flush system I use and do the service while the boat is on the lift to make this as painless as possible. I then turn to the calipers and pull them each off, inspect and lube the pins and slides.

Yearly I wash/wax the trailer, inspect the tires, check all the lights, lubricate all pivot points on the actuator and anything else that moves. Every 4 years I replace the tires.

While it sounds like a lot most of this goes very quickly. Being able to have the boat off the trailer certainly helps as well.
