What else should I check before putting her back in the water?

Hey guys. I just want to first say how grateful I am to all of you for your advice, and help. Now, I am curious about what else I need to do before I put it on the lift at the lake for the summer. Here's what I have done. Replaced all seals in the outdrive, put in a new short yoke, water pump, and pressure tested it over night at 14psi. Then I replaced all 3 bellows, rubber water hose, trim switches, hinge pins, gimble bearing, and lower shift cable. Can you think of anything else? I'm a new boater so I'm learning as I go..

edit: forgot to mention that I heeded Dons warning and got the alignment tool. Thank goodness I did because it was out of alignment.

Yessir, have all the tune up stuff waiting to go on. Just wanted to make sure everything with the outdrive was good to go before moving onto the engine.

Change outdrive oil (from bottom)? Greased gimbal, ujoints, etc?
