it a 1988 7.5 mercury outboard that i mite get but i dont know he said its hasnt been in two years and it was drained at thelast uses so like i said i dont know bout getting it what do yall think
7.5 merc should not be too hard to get started even if it sat for a while. look at some of the threads on winterizing boats, they talk about how to store boats for long periods and how to get them started after sitting for a long time. some thing like pull the spark plug and shoot in a small amount of mix fuel.....some thing like that. a few hours of work on it if you are thinking about buying it would be well spent. if you can het it to turn over and run for a few seconds buy it if after a few hours and using some tricks to get it started from some of these threads it wont turn over i would walk away!
