Dewinterizing Mercury 250 Pro XS

I'm trying to get a jump and getting things ready for spring. I would like to go ahead and get everything i need to get my boat motor ready so as soon as the weather breaks i can get back on the water. I just recently bought a boat back in October and it is my first boat. I just want to make sure that i replace everything that needs to be replaced. I know that i need to replace the spark plugs and oil filter in the motor. If anybody can help me out and let me know what else i need to replace it would be greatly appreciated. Also if anybody could help me out on where is the best place to buy these parts? Thanks in advance for the help.

Waterpump, tune up?, lower unit oil, it all depends... you can get alot of stuff at your local auto parts store or from one of our fine sponsors.

drop down in the MERC forum and send don weed @ european marine an IM, you can order everything through him.
change lower unit oil
check all hubs and seals
water pump
tire pressure
check jackplate or transom bolts and prop nut
fuel filter
spark plugs
