Hello All,
I just purchased a 1997 16 ft Sea Rayder with a 175 hp v6 mercury 2 stroke. I paid $2000 for the boat. It has 350 hrs on it. I don't even know if the thing will run. It has been sitting for quite some time. I was planning to add a new bettery, remove the spark plugs and squirt an oil gas mixture into the cylinders, hook up the water hose and try to fire it up. Does this sound like a good plan? Are there any precautions I should take? This is the first boat I have ever owned. Thanks in advance for your advice and your patience.
