My first outboard motor. I go
My first outboard motor. I got it running but before I take it out on the water I want to get it reliable. I have been looking through the posts and I haven't found all I'm looking for.
I have never worked on one of these so I will get a manual.
What should be done to a motor with an unknown maintenance history?
Here is what I know I need so far.
New seals on the tank and connectors. New fuel line. I think the lower unit is leaking so new seals there. There's a good deal of black oil floating in the barrel. New water impeller.
Anything else that I should do?
Thanks for any input.
