just acquired this boat for free and it needs a ton of love. the motor hasnt been started in almost 13 years and im afraid to try it.
i know the thermostat needs to be replaced since i can see its cracked and the impeller fan.
anyone have any suggestions on where to start to get this sucker tuned up before attempting to turn the motor.
i want to drain all fluids and replace prior to trying too. im sure 13yr old gas isnt good for it.
a lot of the motor looks to be in great shape but not sure what the specific things are that i need to look at taking care of first.
carborator looks surprisingly good and clean.
water pump may be seized up, should i be able to turn the pulleys by hand?
as a first time boat owner im pretty handy in all fields and dont mind putting in the work tearing apart the motor to get her running just would love some direction as to where to start and things i should look for
thanks in advanced guys
