[Momboy007]

Hello All,
I just got a new to me boat that has been sitting the last 10 Years, I am still waiting for a manual, but want to change all the fluids ASAP, what all fluids need changing out, it is a 97 Celebrity 180 and has a mercruiser 4.3 2BBL.
Also, How do you get the oil out of the motor, do I need a pump?

Thanks in advance for all your help

Rick

HI Rick,

Motor oil - needs to be pumped out

Outdrive gear oil - drains at the lower unit . . . has a vent plug up top.

Power steering fluid

Trim fluid (usually 30 wt oil)


Did you get this thing started yet? :noidea:

When do we get pictures and videos?

Hello All,
Got it started and it sounds really good, But I did not do anything else without first changing all the fluids out. The Carb, 2bbl was rebuilt and drained, flushed and changed out the water separator filter and it fired up first thing.
Can I post pictures here?

Thanks,
Rick

You have to flush all the gas from fuel the tank. :cold:
