    Pulling the Champ out of storage

    I have had my Champ 198 stored in the caves all winter and I am pullling it out this week. What are all the things I ought to check out before hitting the water. Obviously:
    1. Batteries charged and good
    2. Fuel
    3. Clean it up good
    4. Restock the tackle and organize
    5. Start it up
    6. Trolling motor functioning
    7. Livewells
    8. Life jackets

    ANy other ideas?

    Verify and top off your oil resorvoir. Check tire pressure on trailer and add air as needed.

    Check fire extinguisher.
    Verify you have your registration and all paper work.

    I would go through and grease the spots that need to be greased as well.

    Check all of the lights on the trailer, truck and boat.
