Thanks for the info, i think it is common for people to be in my situation. I bought my first boat used and got almost no useful information on how to operate and care for it. This video helped alot thanks for taking the time to make it!

It is like revving your engine in your car in neutral. The key thing is to make sure your drive is down, or you will screw up your u-joints.

I learned this recently. I've fortunately only owned the boat for a few weeks, but I've been worried about the damage I've done the 5 or 6 times I've had it out. Its so damn hard to find an owners manual for my boat, but its videos like this that help me learn all the things I'm missing by not having an owners manual. Good luck with your boat. Hope you didn't cause any damage.

Thanks for the great video! Just bought a 1987 SeaRay with brand new motor and am taking it out for the first time this weekend. I thought it might be smart to run the engine first and your video is perfect. Wish me luck! :)

This is a good video, thanks for sharing. I'm a long time boater but bought my first inboard outboard last year. Getting it ready for the season and started it for the first time on muffs when I realized I had never seen an in/outboard run on muffs and wasn't sure if mine was functioning properly. ie water pump discharging correctly. After seeing your video I know mine is operating fine. Thanks again.

I found out the hard way that the Muffs are a must use. I hooked a water line directly to intake on engine and figured that was good enough,,nope!! The water pump was still not getting water and I smoked the rubber propeller. And it is a job to change.

madd props for a sharp old school boat! rather have something like this that was structurally sound than a brand new one! Mine is a clone of this one and it to is basically flawless! same color scheme and everything!! sweet ride.. I do notice though that mine compaired to others is alot flatter (lower or less of a "deep v") but mine to Pops right outta the water! last year my buddy was running his 19' searay next to me and was just him and his girlfriend in it! He passed me and even though i had me + 4 or 5 others with me i still managed to catch and pass his ass very veeerry easily! needless to say he was pissed! haha suck it... right!? lol Mine will do ABOUT 53 mph if the lake is fairly still!! Love the older glitter paint scheme!~! thats old school cool!! beautiful boat you have too!!

Clean rig. Makes me miss my avengers. Dont miss the 454s so much but the boats are great. After a genius named Marshal at eagle mountain yacht sales built a jet for me with a 425 cadi big block i have no use for a 454. Id run all day long full throttle if not skiing. Go home and do it again the next day. And the next. Fill it up and only have used half a tank. No oil useage no oil leaks no typical probs 454s are famous for. 90+ mph in a big jet boat that had the driving characteristics of a bladed outrive ski boat.

Anybody know do you need your tilt mechanism to be working to lower the stern drive? My boat I bought used to I'm trying to start it and it's got a tie down holding it up and I'm afraid if I loosen that tie now and I'm not going to be able to get it back up 🤣 thanks

I thought I read somewhere that it's suggested not to run the motor past idle on muffs. I don't really know if it hurts anything.
