I'd like to satisfy my curiousity as to the health of my newly acquired 460 before sinking a fortune into a new sterndrive. It looks great and is low hour but.... sure would feel foolish if I didn't check it out first. It's fresh water cooled so I realize I've got to supply a source of coolant water (garden hose and adapter of some sort) also probobaly need to get the exhaust and water directed out the transom hole...have I forgot anything?
