Boat has been sitting up for roughly 8 months. Going to drain gas tank, clean lines and filter. Replace with fresh fuel. Is there anything else I should be aware of starting up motor due to sitting for a period of time?

Re: Cold Start

Yes be very careful of the water impellor working or not. The cooling system is most important...

Re: Cold Start

Thanks for the information. I will just make sure when starting up that all water is flowing properly through all ports. Then if she has a rough idle and doesn't run smooth I'll pull carbs and clean them.
