[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 407674, member: 9937"] I have a buddy coming over tomorrow to help out with the glueing of the hydroturf. Until then, I got the motor ready to go. It hasn't run in at least a year, maybe two. Was stored with seafoamed fuel. Pulled the fuel filter, cleaned it and the filter housing. Hooked up my seafoamed fuel from last year. Pulled the cord and it fired on the first pull! Not bad for not running for such a long time. The tell tale wasn't pissing right away so I shut it down and found a mud dobber nest right at the tell tail outlet. After that, I let it idle for about an hour. For now I think I'll change the lower unit oil, water pump and let her rip.

Most filled with caulk with the exception of the that had a transducer mounted to it. Thankfully they were all in about a 6 inch area. Rather than just filling them, I decided to cut a piece of UHM, then adhere it with a marine adhesive. No more holes drilled into the transom! [/QUOTE]
