Spring Maintenance

[azirish77]

Hey Guys, I am new to the boating world, and I have a couple of questions if anybody has the time. I have a 2000 Reinel 200LS. It is my first boat, and I bought it about a year ago. It ran great all last season, and has been sitting since October. What are the major things that I should do to get my boat ready. Boating weather is not too far off in PHX! Here are a couple of my questions?

If I take it to a shop for maintenance, about how much should I expect to pay?

My trailer has Bearing Buddies, but I have no idea on how to grease them. Is this easy to do by yourself?

Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it!

Boating weather is now. I spent 5 hours on Saguro Lake yesterday. I had to use sunscreen.

Not sure about the cost. Look at the adult section in the mercruiser section lots of good info. The Bering buddys are easy pull the cap off and grease with a normal grease gun. Very easy to do by yourself

My last 100 hour service on a Glastron GT-185 3.0l Volvo setup was $312 for a complete service. I likely could have done this for half the price myself if I had all the needed tools that my local dealer has available.
