Default 1978 20' fiberform w/ 305 & merc outdrive

engine can be rotated by hand. My question is- if I put fresh fluids in
and spark plugs- what else should I do before trying to crank this
thing up? Since it has a radiator I don't have to be in the water yet
correct? Can I crank it on with out the outdrive attached? (please



well; i tdoesn't have a radiator; it has a heat exchanger. You need to provide
water to the intake - you can use ear-muff like thing or stick the outdrive in a
55 gallon drum filled with water...

You should also pull the valve covers and check for stuck valves.
Replace the water pump in the engine & impeller in the outdrive.

Check the hoses & elbows -- there are flappers in the elbows that some times
rust up.
anywhere on this boat. Just brought it home saturday- What can someone
tell me about the gas tank- how can I inspect it, how can i tell it's
condition....


They're usually under the deck -- look for the filler and follow the line.
