Looking at a boat with twin 1996 7.4L Mercruiser EFI motors. They are freshwater cooled and it looks to be multi-port.

1997 Seadoo GTX 787 Have emptied gas tank and oil tank and cleaned due to sitting for four years and have also replaced fuel lines. Question is how to bleed the oil line of possible air? Someone told me it has to be done while running? Seems a little risky to me.
Just picked up a 1997 Seadoo GTX that the owner said has been sitting the last 4 years. It came with 2 Dess keys.
When plugging in there are no beeps on either key, engine turns over but no spark. Are these conditions related or are they two seperate issues?
