New guy with Old motor

[Gappy]

Hi, Newbie here.
I just bought a one owner '72 Glastron Carlson CV16 w/ the original 120 HP Chrysler. I got real lucky here, this boat and motor have been pampered, pampered, pampered! Has never sat in the water overnight and both are in unbelievable 100% original condition! My question on the motor is........The only repairs done were the coil and water pump and plugs have been replaced. Is there anything I should do as precautionary or preventative? Thanks for any input!!

Ahoy, Gappy.

Welcome to iboats.

If the water pump replacement was recent the next thing to do is take her to the lake and run her.

Good luck.

Can you answer this for me JB?

I just got a 89' Bayliner Capri with original 125 Force its sat for 1 year out of the water, but has been started once a month with muffs on to ensure the motor does not lock up. What should i do before taking it on the water to sort of steer celar of any problems? Thanks.

First, Numba ONE, please don't hijack someone else's thread. Post your question in a new thread.

If the water pump is pumping well I would hit the water.
