I just bought a Bayliner that has a 125 Force outboard. I has been sitting for a few years with stabiled gas in it. The gas seems fine but I am going to drain it anyways before starting.
The motor seems in great shape but I was wondering what you would do as far as maintenance or what are some common problems with these motors that can be prevented.
I was planning on replacing the plugs, wires, filters.
The boat has some weakening in the floors. My wife and I plan on replacing the floors (we bouilt our own house so hopefully this shouldn't be that difficult compared to house). The wiring looks great, as does the transom and the interior for the most part. We were able to get it cheap enough that we can afford to do alot of repairs and still come out ahead compared to the cost of a similar boat that is ready to go.
I am new to the boating world but have been building and restoring cars for a couple of decades. I am more than capapble of doing most everything myself as long as I have a decent set of instructions.
Thanks
