S/N is OB 332898, 1988 Mercury 200 hp. Has not been started since I think the fall of 2019, but may have been the spring. We basically quit going because of Covid concerns, I was afraid my dad would catch it from me. Put new water pump on last spring, Pop and I got new batteries and tires, put new bearings in and started working on the brakes. Pop’s health started declining and I lost the heart to work on. We lost Pop in May of this year, and I pray he is home in Paradise in the Lord’s care with other family members we have lost. I still don’t have the brakes done from last year, don’t have one of the batteries in, have mixed emotions about going fishin, but want to get the boat back in shape. After sitting so long, unfogged and no Stabil, what do I need to do to try and get it running? I don’t think it has alot of gas in it, but that could still be alot of gallons when capacity is 42 gallons, what do you do with old gas? I assume it’s too old to mix new and stabil or sea foam with it. We have tried to do work ourselves and I would like to continue that with God always helping me to do more than I could possibly do on my own, so please share your advice, especially Don and Joe, on what I need to do. If you still have your dad, enjoy every day with him. I lost my best friend when I lost Pop and miss him so, so much. Thanks be to God for the memories and for the hope we have in Jesus of seeing him again, and may God bless you all. Thanks
