"Hi,get yourself a greasegun with marine grease in it,and grease the nipples on the motor,swivel tube and pivot tube.also the gearshift lever sometimes has one underneath.check your prop nut for tightness,check the splitpin or locktab for security.you can check the g/box oil level [i personally would change the g/box oil,easy to do,as g/box gets a hard time],transom bolts for tightness,give the whole outboard a polish[keeps the paint supple and protects against corrosion].buy a selocs manual,very handy ,Try that for a start."
