Spring Check
Ok I need a list here from you guys of stuff that you usually do to start the season. Some areas I know I've neglected so please try to touch on everything that you normally check. Stuff like what to grease, what fluids to change, etc. Again I'm a rookie...so post it like your talking to an idiot thats never done it before

Change Spark plugs after starting up and warming up the motor for the first time, they will be fouled from fogging.
Oil if it wasn't changed at the end of last season.
Gearlube
grease fittings
check propshaft seal
check to make sure your block isn't cracked from improper winterization
check carb if you have one
new fuel water seperator
check belts
check bellows
