Merc 5.0: Not run since '02
 

I have inherited a 1992 2452 Bayliner Classic. The boat was stored in
2002 and not fogged,etc. The boat did not have any problems and it was
stored in a covered environment. The electrical and hydraulic system
test OK.

I"ll drain/clean the gas tank; install new fuel/air filter; change
plugs and oil before starting.

Any more preventive maintenance items before I "turn the key"?

I may keep or sell.

Thanks

The carburator will probably need a re-build.

You MUST replace the waterpump impeller in the foot. Rubber ages fast.

Carb cleaning is a "maybe".......

Barring any sentimental attachment to the boat, I vote for sell. If it
wasn't stored properly, you have a pretty good indication that it wasn't
cared for properly, and may have even have been abused.

You might not need to replace the plugs if they look OK, but while you have
them out I would spray something like WD40 into the cylinders to lube them
up a bit. Then try turning the engine a bit with them out to make sure the
cylinders aren't too rusty or dry.
