Hello group,
Just acquired a small fishing boat with a 25 horse Mercury. Believe its an early 90's outboard. Been sitting for 7-8 yrs. I am wondering before I try seeing if it runs,(a friend has muffles), I plan on removing gas/oil and refilling with new, a new spark plug after putting some oil in cylinder and manually pulling motor over slowly to prevent scoring. Is there anything I am missing, especially regarding the lower unit. Have no idea about its fluids. I have mechanical ability and have adequate tools for mechanics on the motor, just never owned one before. Thanks for the help.
