Hi everyone
I've just bought a 2000 Bayliner 1750 Capri with a 3.0l Mercruiser. I've got quite a lot of experience on boats with diesel engines (sailing yachts mainly) but this is my first petrol engined boat.
I will be taking her out on the water for the first time next week, and was wondering if someone can give me a heads up with the starting procedure. My understanding is that this is not a fuel-injected engine so am I right in thinking that I will need to prime the engine with the throttle a couple of times and then start her up with the throttle 1/4(ish) open, but in neutral?
I could probably work this stuff out for myself when I'm there, but forewarned is forearmed!
Thanks for your help
