I am new to boating, I was just given an 1983 Bayliner
85 Force that I am getting out of the shop this weekend
fresh off a tuneup. I have never launched a boat myself.
I was wondering if someone could tell me how I do this?
What do I do once it is in the water? How do I lower the engine? Do I need to choke start the engine to start it?
Do I just turn the key? Also when I add the oil to the gas do I just pour it in the gas tank? Do I need to mix it with something? As you can see I'm new to boating and need someone to help walk me through launching the boat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I think you will get better response if you post this in the Boat Topics and Questions Forum, jozer.

Good luck. :)
