Hello members. Newbie here. I just purchased a 1966 14' jon boat with a 1967 Mercury 200 20hp motor on it. The history/condition of the motor was unknown. With the plugs pulled and the shifter in gear. I could turn the prop and motor over. So it isn't locked up. Only thing I know is the boats registration ran out in 2000. The guy said the motor was stored inside a shed. The boat, motor and trailer looked in really good condition considering their age and espically for $200. I get it home and start doing some PM on the motor. I knew that I at least needed to change the lower unit oil and install a new impeller before attempting to start it. So I removed the upper and then the lower fill plugs and only about 1/4 cup of water came out. No gear oil at all. I don't know if the oil was drained out a long time ago or if it has a bad seal somewhere and it leaked out. I think it's a neet looking motor and would like to keep in matched up with the boat. So I would like to know from someone with more wisdom on this issue on how to precede with this motor.
