how's your summerizing going. what do you have to do to get your thing together? i been getting onto mine the last two days. time to get my stuff together. summerizing i mean. man. went mighty smooth so far. though it is time consuming. and i start with a winterized boat. much pm has been done prior to the new season.
i start with a striped out boat. nothing in it. so it takes me a good couple to three hours to put the stuff back where it belongs. + try stuff out too. vhf. stereo etc. this year. i use a base item list i made up. so far so good.
my drive was serviced over the winter. so hopefully all is good. it's back in place. that leaves the engine. i winterized w/ air this last season. all appears good. no water where it shouldn't be. so far. 1st run will confirm to me i'm hip. anyways. took a few trys to get her to fire up this season. not unusual i guess. suspect the carb fuel bowl evaporates a bit and leaves me dry for a moment. so nothing done to it other than shine up the points and she fired up. good. no block cracks. better yet. so far. lay a minor tune up on her. sweet. rotor, points, plugs (ngk br6fs) condenser. got a cap and fuel filter on order though the fuel filter is new as of last fall. a spare. oem only. no fuel water separator. man, on the hose she starts up like a fuelie. sweet.
with luck i'm gonna splash her tomorrow.
