What's on your DIY annual service list?
I'm getting sick of paying for the labor rates for my annual service. I think I've decided to give it a try myself this year. I've been reading about all of the procedures on the site, and everything seems pretty straight forward.
Below is the list of things I would plan on doing for sure every year. Am I leaving anything out that should definitely be done annually? Or other things I should be checking? I've seen the list in the manual, but wanted to get some real life experience opinions here.
I have a 2005 LSV with around 155 hours on it. I live in a pretty warm climate, so winterization isn't necessary. I also run the boat at least every 3 to 4 weeks year round.
1. Oil Change
2. Change Oil Filter
3. V-drive & Transmission fluid change
4. Fuel Filter change

da man, I couldn't help but laugh. Really sad though.
I'm going to try really hard to change the tranny fluid this year. I meant to do it last year and I had the oil and all but I need to devise a sucker-upper.1998 Mobius

I say clean your flame arrestor every year. I have heard of poeple putting it in a dishwasher but make sure you check with your better half before putting anything that is not dishes in the dishwasher to avoild a fight.

Just got a call from my dealer. Winterize, V-drive flush, Transmission flush, fresh water flush kit install, and some scratch repairs are going to run me $819 bucks. I am doing all this myself next year without a doubt. Learned my lesson.
