What did I forget?

[Bruce Freeman]

OK I am getting ready to take my boat out for the first time of the year, before next Fridays first tournament of the year. I unplugged my GUEST charger while I reloaded my fishing and boating gear. repacked the bearings on the trailer and adjusted the tire pressure. Checked all the pumps and electronics. Double checked all the saftey equipment. The only thing I did not check was the lights on the trailer, because my truck is out on loan and won't be back until tomorrow.

I will have to replace the 4 year old TM batteries before next Friday but they should do OK for Sunday. The hydrometer test showed they are weak and I kind of figured that from how they worked the last few times out.

All rods and reels have been cleaned oiled and respooled, tackle supply updated with plenty of spares.



All Good?

When did you last change your lower gear oil? I do mine at the start of every season. I don't get many hours in annually but do it at the start every year. I also lubricate my winch. If you use bearing buddies, you wouldn't have to repack the bearings. Good luck.

good time to change the impeller also!

You did check out the trolling motor and made sure everything was tight didn't you?

You wouldn't want to get out on the water and have to take the head off looking for problems, right

Just kidding my friend but you know what I'm talking about...

All you need to do now is find out where the fish are.
