Default Preventative Maintenance questions

Hello. I am in the midst of getting my boat put away for the winter

Changed the oil and filter, fuel/water separator filter, and will be changing the out drive gear oil.

Should I be chaning the power steering and trim oil too? It is probably original, 13 years old. Spark plugs were replaced with Delco ones last year, so they should be good for a few years.

Also, I don't see any lubrication points for the steering linkage, etc. Are there not usually grease nipples for such areas?

Boat is a 2009 2100 SC, 4.3 V6

Thanks for any suggestions.

Grease the guide tube where the cable comes out. Also add fuel stabilizer and run the engine to get it through the system. If it’s a carburetor fog the eng8ne with fogging oil. No need to change the PS or trim fluid.
