boat in sig.
last winterized in late oct. '14. winterized pretty much by the book (service manual #2).
stored dry, empty block and manifold. oil chg. every thing greased. [drive impeller replaced, pressure test done](early 2015). alignment checked prior to this years drive replacement. stored full of fuel, but siphoned it off last summer to empty. new fuel this year.
summerization this year. full tank of fresh fuel. points, cond. plugs, rotor. ign. set to spec.w/ dwell meter and timing light. new batt. replacing a five year old batt. with what appeared to be one dead cell. all trailer bolts tightened, rollers on roller trailer lubed, lights work (after a hosein).
biggest concern is bellows. their 9 years old. maybe 8. whatever, older. but oem. anyways. they appear intact. no rubber deterioration that i can see. always stored down. 1st thing i'll look for is water intrusion after splash off trailer.
anything i missed prior to a splash tomorrow. gonna be a nice day, 80*ish. but high winds. 25 + or -. sustained. it'll be white caps w/ short duration. if it fails. i'll be hosed for sure unless someone helps me out (in).
