Spring startup

[Enemy]

Time to start the boat up, once again I'm new to the whole boat thing so not sure where to start.

As far as winterizing all I did was the following

1. stabilize fuel, let the engine run for about 10minutes
2. fog engine until it stalled
3. Lower the outdrive and remove the drain plus
4. drain all water
5. disconnect battery
6. open all compartments
7. cover boat.

Do I need to fill it with water from the top hose or will it get enough water through it from the muff's?

Also going to change the oil while im at it.

Good job!

EXCEPT, change the oil when you winterize at the end of the season instead of letting possibly contaminated oil sit in the engine for an entire winter!
