Hi everyone. I just bought this boat last year. It is essentially brand new, and is a beauty. I bought it w under 50 hours. I just need to know what to do before I put it out on the water this Summer. I'm the type of person who does everything himself. I don't want to take it to a dealer to do the work. Just so you know, I ran the engine before winter time and ejected/flushed out the fresh water and then I sucked the marine anti freeze into the engine. Also, I trickle charged the battery all winter. What else do I need to do?

I'm hearing I need to change the oil, oil filter, and spark plugs. I bought the oil pump to suck the old oil out. Now what oil and oil filter do I need? What spark plugs? What else?

Thanks man! I'm excited. I'm told I can wait on the spark plugs. I bought the oil filters off eBay: https://m.ebay.com/itm/2-SEADOO-OIL-FILTER-COVER-ORING-KITS-ring-wear-manual-jet-All-4Tec-Rotax-Scarab/160291187640?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Those ok? Also, I'm getting the T6 Rotella oil from Wal-Mart tonight.
