What do you guys do to your boats annually to ensure it stays running smoothly all year long?

Well, I took a TM in that was acting up, only for guys to tell me it checked out ok so I have a wiring issue so I removed both TM and starting batteries yesterday, had poor connections come to find out here and there, and I took them to get them tested.
I know batteries are always brought up. I have (2) wal mart everstart 29's that have 5/14 stickers on them checked out very close to new specs. The new one needed replacing and they ordered one it will be in today. So myself, I will be checking all connections. Did L/U job this summer. Trailer needs some love too.

I run Royal Purple in the lower unit and all I do is check for water and fill to proper level. I grease all the grease fittings on the outboard, and check for dauber nests in the cowling vents. Pull prop at least twice a season and check for line. Put a little shaft grease on the splines.
I check the batteries monthly and keep maintainers on them after charging.
Check wheel bearings by simply touching the hubs after a trip to and from the lake. I keep the Bearing Buddies full but not overfull.
Check air pressure in the tires before every fishing trip, including the spare.
Snowflakes and entitled brats will be the doom of America!
