I just bought a V16 Tracker with a 40 hp johnson ELESR motor. The original owner died in 1991 and the boat hasn't been used since. What should I do about the motor before I try to start it? The motor is supposed to only have 50 - 60 hrs on it. I don't want to mess it up because it failed to do some kind of pre-lube or turning over by hand or anything else.
I'm also removing the console and putting in stick steering.
