Every fall, I drain the lower unit lube and replace it with fresh grease.
In the spring, I change out the spark plugs. Every three years, I change
the impeller in the lower unit water pump.

With a two-stroke outboard, that's about all you can or have to do.

A can of Seafoam in the gas goes a long way toward a cleaning the insides.
