Change lower unit oil,and since you don't know when it was serviced,after starting it check water flow,you may want to rebuuild the water pump,change plugs.You can get info at www.seatemp.com .
Hi bmac; Since you don't know the history of your boat, before changing the L/U oil I would replace the impeller. It's **** cheap insurance. Good Luck with your new toy. Hal
Hi BMAC,<br />I would purchase a Clymer's or Seloc manual as soon as you get the chance. They are available on this site or many others. Or at your nearest dealer. These are INVALUABLE..Good Luck.<br />Bill
