Restarting a mercury after storage

[hallhen]

I have a mercury iekhaefer 7.5 motor Serial number 2813717 that was given to me by my brother in law. It was stored for appx. 15 years and i will take it back west to do some crappie fishing in the San Diego lakes. The motor was ran dry before storage.<br /><br />I am looking for some tips on the model year, re starting this motor and shop manuals.<br /><br />All help would be appreciated.
