So...I am new hew here. Not real sure of the protocol. But I am going to buy a boat that has been setting for 13 years.
The boat was stored inside a dry barn and has less than 15 hours on it. It has the Bravo 3 outdrive. The motor is carbureted. The boat was Seafoamed prior to setting and the gas tank was drained. The batteries were replace 2 yea ago and the motor was "bumped over". There was no attempt to start the motor nor turn it over completely, but only bumped to see I it would want to start. All hoses and belts will likely be changed but they lo to be in decent condition.
What is the best way initiate an attempt to actually restart his motor?
I have heard that a few squirts of transmission fluid in each cylinder isn't a bad idea.
