Hello boaters and experts,
I am very new to the "boat world" and could use some help with some of the questions I have from people who know more about this. FYI, I'm based in Belgium.
I recently bought a 2nd hand boat, Bekro with a SUZIKI DT25C outboard engine. The boat itself is over 20 years old but still in excellent condition and the engine is as good as new.
This boat has probably stood still for a year and therefore I was wondering what I should do before putting it in the water.
I have already done the following:
- Completely cleaned the boat
- charged the 12V battery in the boat to start the boat from the console with the corresponding charger.
The boat has a tank of 25l in which I think Euro95 (unloaded gasoline) should be, there is still some gasoline in the tank at the moment.
Is it best if I disconnect the bowel from the engine for a while and take all the gasoline out as it is already quite old and then refresh it afterwards or what should I do best?
Are there any things I need to take into account or things I need to do before putting the boat in the water.
Of course I already have my sailing license.
Please also see some pictures attached.
Thank you in advance.
