Opened the cooling water intake seacocks, turned the batteries switch to

Both engines hardly turned over once and they lit off and purred. Little
or no smoke to speak of. It was as if they were just running 5 minutes
ago and I shut them down for a minute.

They had not run since last September.

I start getting the itch hearing them run and the sound and vibration in
the boat.

I bet you took the "For Sale" sign off shortly after that. ;-)

BTW: My friend with a Lyman recorded his engine running from the marina to
the Lake so he could get his boating *fix* during the winter by listening to
it.
