Re: 1997 Bayliner Ciera 2655
Although time out of the water and/or in storage keeps a boat looking pretty, it is rough on a boat's systems. You can count on, at a minimum, rebuilding the carb, replacing the fuel pump, filter and related hoses, cleaning out the fuel tank, recommissioning the potable water tank and lines, rebuilding the pump on the head and mucking out the black water tank. Also don't be to surprised if the power steering hoses area bit leaky, or the PS pump and steering cylinder need new seals. Speaking of new seals, check the tilt & trim along with the trim tab cylinders for leakage...hoses too
Also look for rodent and insect nests in any cozy places that might contain wiring. For some reason mice seem to love the taste of insulation.
Sounds like getting a complete survey might be money well spent if you are serious about the boat.
