I just purchased an old Glastron Swinger V176, with a 1969 (checked through links provided in the forum... thank you) Mercury 125 6cyl (serial number 2536301). I have no idea what the fuel mixture is and neither does the guy who had it before me. Apparently the boat was his fathers and hasn't been operated in 2 or 3 years, which brings me to my next question:
I'm looking for advise on what I should look for since the motor hasn't been run in 2 or 3 years. The fuel tanks are full, but I assume I want to drain them and replace the gas with fresh stuff. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I try to crank this baby up for the first time.
Thanks,
C.J. Leigh
