I do oil change and transmission fluid change at the end of every summer before I winterize the boat. The screen strainer on a direct direct transmission is a real pita to get to. To avoid having to get to the strainer I’ve swapped trans fluid every year for 18 years and had no issues. I also change my impeller every year. Not worth the risk of a failure. Pull it in the winter and install new one in the spring. One other item always turn your steering wheel all the way to port when boats not in use. This will keep the steering from getting stiff. I had to replace my original steering cable at like 4 years. Haven’t needed another one since…
