This is my first motor and boat that i purchased. I am planning on using the set up for duck hunting and getting up and down the local rivers. I got the motor and it was stuck. Im no mechanic at all, but i got the motor unstuck by reading posts on here. I feel so proud andaccomplished because im not a mechanic by any means. I got the motor to crank after the 3rd pull. I know i need to change spark plugs and lower unit oil to be safe about it. It sat for 7 months. Bought it from a mans wife where he passed away and she sold it to me. She had no idea about the boat. Just said she knew it ran right before he died. What other things should i do to the motor? The motor looks brand new under the cover. How can i tell if water is getting to the motor and cooling it also? I am planning on going and trying out the motor on saturdsy at this little lake. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
