1) go to www.sailnet.com and join the Atomic 4 mailing list
-- lots of knowledge there

2) Go to WWW moyermarine.com and get his A4 manual -- more
information than you will ever need; $50, but worth 10x as much.

Don is a great guy and will often give free advice over the
phone. He'll also do a rebuild if you need it.

The A4 is a wondrous machine -- you will swear at it, mash
knuckles, contort your body into positions you didn't think
possible, but in the end it will be like an old friend, and
someday you will be just a little sad to move on

I have bought a 30 year old sailboat with an atomic 4 engine. It ran
last fall but was not properly winterized. How do I check it while its
in drydock? Thoughts on replacement if its cooked?
