Reinstall all engine drain plugs.
Reconnect any hoses removed for storage.
Check condition of hoses; tighten clamps

OFF position, install battery and attach bat-
tery cables.
Open the fuel shut-off valve and check fuel
system for leaks.
Check the flame arrestor and clean if nec-
essary (please see the

Pump the bilge dry and air out engine com-
partment. Federal, state, and/or local regu-
lations prohibit the pumping of oil into any
navigable waters.

essary.

exchanger anodes. Clean or replace as nec-
essary.
If oil and filter were not changed for storage,
do it now.
If sterndrive oil was not changed for storage,

If the impeller was removed for storage, rein-
stall it now. If the impeller is due for replace-
ment, install a new one now.
