 what is first?
Just bought a used boat, my first surface drive. What do you suggest I do first to keep the boat in top condition? Should I change the oil in the gearbox, engine, grease it? What do you guys add to gas, if anything, to keep it trash free and from running rough? Any suggestions you can give a rookie will be appreciated!

 Re: what is first?
regular gas, fuel filter\water seperator is nice, keep your oil changed and run it.

Add Seafoam to your gas. Gearbox oil checked periodically, changed every 100 hours. Grease it when you think about it. Go drive it and have fun!
