I have a 2004 Smoker Craft 2040 with a MerCruiser 5.0 in it, S/N OM642896. Is this Turn Key Start, and what are the proper starting procedures either way? I didn't get a manual with the boat.
Better googling on my part helped me figure out that this seems to not be TKS.. So, proper starting procedure.. Full Throttle forward to set choke, back to 1/4 to start, adding throttle if needed??

Yep, if it has an electric choke, throttle only...forward one pump ( to set choke and prime with accelerator pump )...back to 1/4...or 1/8 throttle...fire her up. Do this only when engine is cold. No pumps after engine is warmed up.....
