[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 266963, member: 4251"] If you still have a full tank, I would get a can of Seafoam gas treatment, and pour the WHOLE can in the tank, and get it mixed up in the gas as best you can. Hook the boat up to tow vehicle, and "shake it up" or drive somewhere to get it mixed up as best you can, then try to start the merc. I used this trick on old gas in lawn mowers/pressure washers etc, and it usually will get the engine going, it will run like $%^& for a little bit, but will dry the gas out enough to get it going. You could drain most of the gas in the boat, and then put half a can of seafoam in, which might be easier, might not be. [/QUOTE]
