I recently aquired a 1982 Evinrude 25hp, elec, start, tiller steer that has been sitting for at least a year (more likely 2-3). The motor cranked on the 2nd pull of the cord (starter solenoid is bad) and settled into an idle. Water pump is pushing water out of the tell tale and everything seems to be in order. I have plans to rebuild the water pump and put a thermostat in it, and check the foot for traces of water as a precaution but I was just wondering if there is anything else I should look at or consider changing before I put this boat in the water. Right now all I have done is run it in a barrel.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
