Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | This might be the lazy guy in me talking, but I would say the best advice in this scenario would be to bring the boat/motor into reputable dealer in the area. The gas would be what scares me the most, being that I once let a tank of mixed gas sit for 5 months without putting stabilizer in it, and it ruined my lower gear casing. Just draining would could be 6-10 gallons of gas is a tough/dangerous chore. Beyond that, the carbon build up in the carbs, dead plugs, water in the oil, all of these can be REALLY bad for the boat.
The motor is probably worth $4K, spend $200-$300 today, so that you dont have to pay $1K in the future in major repairs. |
