First startup of the year question

[Gradywhite3535]

I'm going to start my 2 stroke yamaha 130 up for the first time this year. Do I just start it up or do I need to do anythin special. I used fogging oil after last season. Thanks

You might change the lower unit oil if it wasn't done last year. Has the impeller been changed lately?

I bought the boat last year. So I'm not sure when it was changed. I may try n replace it before I put it in the water

I would do the lower unit oil, pressure test and impeller change, if for nothing more than peace of mind. Gives you a starting place for scheduled/annual maintenance.
