I agree, don't use that gas, take it to a used oil recycling station and be sure to drain any gas out of any reservoir in the motor, itself, then take the motor to a dealer for a checkup, tune up, and service. Very likely the lower unit seals have gone dry, and may need replaced. Have the lower unit oil changed, too.

Best to deal with it now and not a mile from the dock on your first time out. Also, check the tires for dry rot, lube up the hubs, make sure all the light wires on the trailer and in the boat didn't get nibbled on by small critters whil;e it was sitting. m
