I found a 1998 1648 Polar Kraft Jon and trailer for sale, which I need another tin like I need a hole in my head. What caught my eye was the Mercury 30 Jet w/ steering console. I looked the boat and motor over but I have no idea what to look for on a Jet. I checked the impeller area which looked great and did not show signs of damage in grating. The motor has been winterized and sat since 2011. I would like to fire it up and owner is more than happy to let me, however this is one of those deals where the boat operator (husband) has left this world and owner has no idea how to operate. Any tips would be great! Obviously I want to know it works and is worth buying but I don't want to ruin it either.
