Hi All -

I am looking to get my boat, newly purchased, going for the season. I have not owned a boat yet, so I am new to most of this stuff.

What all do I need to do to get it up and running for the season? Last year it did not see the water - maybe 1 hour logged.
Has the Ford 351 engine with about 500 hours total on it.

Thanks for the help
Nick

Look here at the FAQ section. It has winterizing information (the same link has de-winterizing information).

Cut and paste this into Google [site:www.correctcraftfan.com] and add "checklist" or "winterize" or "oil" or whatever you have a question about, and you are likely to find more advice than you have time to read.

I also like this post if the boat is new to you...things to think about

The Holley will not bolt up on the Q jet bolt pattern without a new intake or adapter. You will also need to loose the wedge you most likely run now. Clean up the Q jet and run it for a while before changing stuff. An easy upgrade is the marine AFB that will bolt right on your wedge. it is a very reliable carb with the same performance as the Holley (IMO) if the Holley has a HP edge you'll never see it in a boat. The steel fuel lines, throttle linkage etc. etc, will all be a pain.

If it were my new-to-me boat I would set the maintenance clock back to ZERO.
By this I mean do all periodic maintenance so you have a fresh time line. I feel this will give you better return to dollar for the summer than a Holley carb.

Cap and rotor
Clean the Q jet
All fluids and filters, including gear oils.
Impeller
Balance the prop and lap to the taper.
Alignment and packing.
New battery if older than 2 years. Clean all connections, dash ground etc.
From you local I would also pull the risers to inspect / service gaskets. Be ready for new ones if the boat has been run in the brine.


Hope that helps...
