hi guys! so ive finally registered to the site. ive gotten all kinds of helpful advice from this site with restoration and troubleshooting on my older outboard. i have recently purchased a 1986 larson citation (my first inboard). i just wanted to get some of your opinions or impressions of the boat in general. shes in great shape for the year, everything works well and she runs strong. i was just wondering if there are any common issues with this boat that i should be aware of. shes got a 3.0 mercruiser with the alpha 1 outdrive. thanks guys!

Re: 1986 larson citation

yea thats what ive been told. i bought the boat from a family member. he told me all i had to do to dewinterize the boat was put muffs on it and flush the antifreeze out of the motor and water system. is this true? shouldnt there be some fuel lines that need to be hooked back up? would they be going to the carb? it has new oil and lower unit oil. thanks!

Ayuh,... Go down to the Mercruiser forum...

Pinned to the top of that forum is the Adults Only section...

In there, you'll see a thread titled "Summerization"....
