What Kind of Maintenance Did Your Boat Require This Year?

I finally forced myself into getting my boat lake ready this week. It has sat in my parent's back yard unmoved since Mid August...I have a tournament Saturday, so it was nut cutting time for me.
This may have been the most amount of work I have had to do to get her back right...
* Replace 3 rocker switches at my console
* Replace the power trim relay solenoid things.
* Rewire aerators
* Replace Fuel hose
* Syphon old gas
* Trailer Renewal
* Boat Renewal
* New Cranking Battery
* Bulbs on Running light poles
All this done in a couple of days
Still havent completed the trailer and boat renewal. Still need to get my fishing license.
After getting all the mechanical and electrical crap lined up. I put the bunny ears on her last night, and everything was running like a top!
I love it when a plan comes together. Feels damn great.
Now i need to get legal!
This may inspire me to start fishing alot more. It is easy to stay at the house when you know that your boat needs a bunch of crap done to it...
What have you all had to do?

I almost sold mine. Such a love hate ...
It puts a smile on my face when everything is in running order... the rareity in which that occurs.

Carb issues on the #3 carb...cleaned and readjusted. Fuses for the bilge and livewell blew for some reason.
Thats it so far...but she is back to running like a top. May hit the water this weekend if the wind will lay down.

Mine is sitting in an enclosed boat shed at Pickwick. I am in Birmingham. Have not pulled it out in two years. I am scared to go there and unlock the door. I know it will be bad.

Get the christmas tree needles out of the seat of my kayak.

shite just explodes into a clusterfrick on a boat somehow when it doesnt move. I cant explain it...
Even if covered, tarped and winterized..

Hose off the spider webs, check the oil, hit the switch for the hoist to drop it in the water.

Sounds familiar. My dad has a 21' CC that he's prepping to sell that hadn't ran since 09. He randomly decided last week that we'd start cleaning it up and while doing so hooked up the batteries to a charger to see if it would turn over. It frickin started and ran like a top. I still can't believe it.
