"Hi, I have acquired two 485s
"Hi, I have acquired two 485s (With sterndrives and all gauges etc.) that were sitting in a garage for a couple of years and need help on the procedure to restart them after such a long time. They were running fine with good compression when taken out apparently but I do not believe they were "winterized". Can I start them out of the boat without the sterndrives attached? If so what do I need to do to ensure water/exhaust flow. I have already had the transom and stringers done to accommodate these engines. Hope someone can help."
