[QUOTE="Devil's-Tinner, post: 315507, member: 11715"] Hi everyone, this is my first time really into boating. :shock: Im unsure of even how to begin.. I wish we had a "Boating Basics" page.. I have my (new to me) boat. the motor (2-stroke) starts and runs. Not sure the age of motor (1990's?). but has last seasons fuel in the tank, or perhaps many seasons-old. I know I should replace this fuel, (where do I empty this fuel?!) What about the oil in the motor? it there a way to drain and put fresh? or is it necessary? The boat itself I believe is a 1996 Lund 14' with a side console. Im putting the boat in the water this weekend for the first time, ever. and am pretty nervous. your most basic info for boating I would love to hear. checking fuel tanks, motor mechanisms, etc. What should I avoid doing? How do I make sure everything is up to snuff? What is your routine around the start of boat season? [-o< Please Tinboats's finest.. your wisdom is needed. ~~Mitch [/QUOTE]
