.......no i don' have one, but would like one. I am mere days
from launching and turning my key for the first time to see what
happens. but totally nervous about it. so being that these are
old boats, it would be nice to know what other people do before
turning the key for the first time at the beginning of the season.
a sort of check list in order of events. tap the fuel filter glass
first? prime the carb with fuel first? change the plugs? I've had
my boat out so few times, don't have much of a clue on the official
OMC starting procedure, and often have started it after a mechanic
or someone has already been messing with it a few days earlier.
Had heard somewhere about pumping the shift lever forward a few times
to prime the engine. But that could be totally wrong. So anyone
want to take a stab at making a little checklist? I'll get it started
with an easy one....

1) take boat to ramp
