Hello boaters wondering if you could answer my question. I bought a tracker pontoon boat 2 years back but had to leave for Guam. So it sat for two years and maybe started once. I'm finally back from Guam and I like to get dirty, what do you guy's recommend I do for maintenance on this motor? I’m pretty sure it's a four stroke 60hp possibly the big foot but not sure. So should I drain the oil that’s in it?<br /><br />Thanks

If its a four stroke, by all means change the oil. If the engine has three cylinders its a two stroke. Four stroke will be four cylinders. Drain and refill the lower unit. If the water pump impeller has not been changed since 1995, do it now. Change plugs and provided the fuel system isn't varnished from lack of use, it should be good to go. Add some SeaFoam to the fuel to clean the fuel system.
