Due to work schedule and kids sports. I will get out within the next couple of weeks. Just want some advice on what I should do next time it sits this long to keep everything in working condition and what I need to do before taking it out this time.....
I put Stabil in the gasoline and put the grease gun to work on steering cable and bearing buddies.
BTW it is a 99 model Pro Master with a 125 Mercury outboard.
Thanks in advance

Sounds good. Just check your tires because they will go low from sitting. Also I've been told by many people to always charge the batteries as soon as you get home.

I'd make sure to run the motor after adding the fuel treatment to make sure it gets up into the motor as well and isn't limited to just the fuel in the tank.
Also unplug your trolling motor plug.
