Hello all!
I recently picked up a 16' jon boat that came with a 1976 15 HP Johnson. It started right up when I went to look at it and the guy I got it from told me that he had it on the water earlier that year. I would like to get this thing out in the spring, so I have a little bit of time to work on it.
My question is, are they are typical maintenances that should be done for peace of mind before getting it out on the water? I have read several posts talking about complete overhauls and water pump changes.
I would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks!
